Mads Theodor Bonde began his creative journey at Holbæk Kunsthøjskole in the spring of 2022. There, he studied animation for four weeks under the guidance of Sara Koppel. It was during this time that his creativity flourished, leading to the creation of 'Else & Birthe' (2022), a hand-drawn 2D animation on paper, which he made together with Maria-May Backhaus Brown. Driven by their shared passion for traditional animation, they carried this approach into their next project and created their debut film 'Vandpyt' (2024).
