Floris Kaayk

Born in Tiel, the Netherlands (NL), on 1 September 1982

After finishing the Grafisch Lyceum high school in Utrecht Floris Kaayk embarked on a course of study at St. Joost Academy of Art and Design in Breda. Choosing animation as a main subject Floris specialised in blending computer generated images with live-action video to present his ideas.
His recently completed production Metalosis Maligna not only allowed him to attain top grades at St Joost but also ensured him of some awards and publications in Dutch magazines.
Floris Kaayk’s previous production The Order Electrus (2005) has gained distinctions at the Netherlands Film Festival (Talent & Pro Award), the International Animation & Cartoon Festival Sicaf at Seoul in Korea (Best Student Prize), has been broadcast on Dutch public television and was invited for screenings at many other prominent cultural events.
