I, Eli Michael Copperman, am an indie freelance animator and BFA grad from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Having worked remotely through freelance for over two to three years now, my resume consists of personal short films, animations for clients and design work for shows and websites. Being on the autism spectrum has allowed me to express my views on the world visually over any unneeded amount of dialogue or exposition. My short films have been exhibited across the United States, Canada, South America, western Europe, southern and eastern Asia & Australia. As a young man on the autism spectrum, animation has helped guide me throughout my life to embrace my love of the arts. Being an admirer of nature, film and humanity, my films reflect what I have experienced growing up and how to cope with personal fears and objective world dilemmas. Through personal or professional projects, I hope to keep finding what makes life worth living for.
