In this interview, Endre Skandfer looks back on a career shaped by curiosity, perseverance, and a deep love for animation as an expressive art form.

Growing up with limited access to films, his fascination was sparked by a handful of formative experiences, including early Norwegian animation classics and later an intense period of self driven study. Skandfer speaks openly about creative doubt, the emotional highs and lows of long productions, and the moment when a project shifts from passion to endurance. He reflects on collaboration, criticism, and the struggle to balance personal vision with the realities of feature film production.

At the core of the conversation is a belief in animation as a uniquely human craft – capable of evoking deep emotion through movement, timing, and handmade detail.
