Alex Cho: my brother and I really want to be a dynamic duo team specializing in animation and directing. Since Kris and I were children growing up in Los Angeles, Shanghai, and Houston, we've always been fascinated with animation from Walt Disney and John Lasseter to Hayao Miyazaki and Satoshi Kon and always inspired to walk their footsteps. Because of this passion, I was enrolled in the University of Houston Graphics Art department under the impression that I would be more involved with the digital aspects of art. Although I had developed many skills in photoshop and studio art, I was disappointed in the program and transferred to UT mostly for the reason to attend the digital animation, visual effects, and film classes that the RTF program provided.....and so that I wouldn't eventually just become a t-shirt logo designer.
