Portrait Chan Lillian

Lillian Chan is hopelessly addicted to television. Animation seems an apt career choice for such an obsession. Born and raised in Toronto, she studied classical animation at Sheridan College. Her graduate film, Obert Egan Invents the Smile, won the Nelvana Award for Best Graduate Film of the Year and had a very successful festival life.

She was an animation workshop coordinator at the NFB Mediatheque in Toronto before moving to Montreal to make Jaime Lo, small and shy for the NFB. It is Lillian's first professional film and is part of the Talespinners Collection.
