MATTHEW LEI

The indie animated show of your DREAMS! Created by a team of CalArts Students (and various friends from other schools).

Dream Catchers is a surreal series that follows Star and TV, who are tasked with the job of traveling through people’s dreams to help them with their troubles. Join them, as they learn new things, solve problems, and make new ones!

We're starting to finish production on Season 1, and getting ready for Season 2!

I'm a co-creator, showrunner, animator, and voice actor!

With the rise of independent animation, I had the idea to create this show with one of my best friend, Val Yu. After recruiting more friends onboard, the show quickly became the biggest project I've ever started! My job is to manage the production of episodes, run social media accounts for promotional material, and collaborate with musicians, language dubbers, and merchandisers

I'm also the lead animator on the team, animating characters, props, and the camera in episodes 1-4. I plan to train animators in Blender to assist me with future episodes. Working on this show has taught me a lot about collaborating with other artists, and being a leader.
