Janneke Swinkels, Tim Frijsinger
Janneke Swinkels (1986) and Tim Frijsinger (1983) live and work together in Maastricht, creating animations and illustrations, mostly on commission. They met during the Video program at the Maastricht Institute of Arts. After graduating in 2009 and 2010, Janneke completed a master's degree in Animated Film at KASK in Ghent. Her graduation film, Zonder versnelling, about her grandfather who lived in a care home, planted the first seed for Zwermen, their first stop-motion short film.
