A 1987 Minnesota State University graduate, Curt Enderle has dazzled both the theater and cinema worlds with his art direction and sets designs. He will talk about his art direction of Isle of Dogs at Playgrounds Blend.
In 2001 he won an Emmy Award for his art direction in the stop-motion animation sitcom on UPN called Gary and Mike. Further on he was a set designer for ParaNorman and art director for the animated feature The Boxtrolls, both of them produced by Laika. His most recent project Isle of the Dogs is an animated feature directed by Wes Anderson following a boy’s odyssey in search of his dog. Isle of Dogs was the opening film of the Berlinale 2018 and won a Silver Bear for direction.
