About me:

I graduated from the University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt in 2022, where I co-founded Sinai Animation. With an award and multiple nominations under my belt, I now work in the 2D animation industry while also serving as a lecturer at the same university. My goal is to bring Christian films back to the family entertainment industry and make them "as amazing as they used to be." Saint Lukas of Simferopol inspired me to found Sinai Animation and honor God through my creative work.

About the project:

The first film of the series "To His Glory" features Saint Panteleimon, a 17-year-old doctor from Nicomedia. Due to his father’s high position among the pagans, the saint receives privileges from a young age, such as medical studies under the guidance of the emperor’s personal physician. But when he turns to Christianity and thus loses his father’s protection, he faces torture and execution. The emphasis is placed on the holiness and work of Saint Panteleimon as well as the tragic relationship between father and son.
