M dot Strange

Here is young filmmaker right on the edge of things. M dot Strange is an American animator who rose to fame with his very own independent film "We Are the Strange" which premiered at Sundance 2007. M dot is an animator first and foremost and he is probably one the most extreme cases of self taught, secluded talent. He made his first film almost entirely on his own, in his bedroom over the course of three years. His fan-base is select and loyal and thus his notoriety is pretty much contained within the internet alone. We Are the Strange was released solely online so that he could retain the rights to his work and he has since made money from DVD sales and merchandise.
