Ignacio Ferreras is an Argentine creator of animated films who takes on a variety of tasks: director, animator, and screenwriter. He worked at all three of these jobs on How to Cope with Death (2002), in which an old woman wages a successful battle against the Grim Reaper, and on his contribution (“1000c SMS Finals”) to the 12-part omnibus film Tokyo Onlypic 2008 (2008). He created the storyboards for Asterix and the Vikings, and helped animate Sylvain Chomet’s French feature The Illusionist (2010), whose script was inspired by a letter Jacques Tati may have written to his step-daughter. The focus of Wrinkles, based on award-winning comics by Spain’s Paco Roca, is once again old age and the effort to withstand external pressures. Ferreras also lectures at Denmark’s prestigious National Film School and at Volda University College in Norway.
