His mother a wedding videographer and his father a photographing barkeep, Stefan was surrounded by film and strange people from a very young age. After growing up and working as a web designer and filmmaker out of Brooklyn, the New York native moved to Portland in 2006 to be a part of the burgeoning film and music mecca. Getting to work immediately, Stefan directed music videos for Menomena and Ramona Falls, in which he was able to further explore his childhood phobia of murderous poultry.

Stefan's inclination for jarringly original imagery and unforgiving content are matched only by his innate abilities as a storyteller and weaver of magical pretzels. Though known primarily as a 2D / motion graphic animator, his films are filled with history, drama, and relevance to the modern world. Nadelman's work has won multiple awards, including the Jury Prize for short film at the Sundance Film Festival, and he has gone viral with over 6.5 million views of his mini-epic history of war, "Food Fight."

We think Bent Image Lab is the perfect fit for such a talented and unique director. ]]> AGENCY Classic Media
