Cameron Kwan (she/they) is a Chinese American director specializing in stop motion animation. She draws on her experience growing up queer and mixed-race to create stories for young audiences that explore emotions, relationships, identity and culture. She loves stories where the abstracts of emotion and identity are made manifest through magical realism. (Bonus points for historical reimagining!) Kwan began her career on the Emmy-winning preschool series Tumble Leaf before joining forces with her business partners to found their independent animation studio Apartment D, where she collaborates with brands such as Monster High, American Girl and Sanrio to create stop motion animated series.
