Statement

Short films are a fantastic way to communicate the beauty and allure of mathematics. Combining mathematical content, music, animation and aesthetic appeal produces an unrivaled medium for drawing the uninitiated into the exciting world of mathematics. My style is inspired by the youtuber CGP Grey.
