He served as a mentor at NEW INC of the New Museum in New York City, and as a jury member for the ÉCU film festival in Paris and the Irish Film & Television Academy in Dublin.
Theros is an animation short that reflects society through abstract forms and repetitive motion. It attempts to visualize the struggle between social classes and depicts their exploitation of natural resources. Like a vicious circle, the whole system feeds itself, blind to see its self-destruction.
Theros was part of the 3rd year major project.
