Connected as Maya Erdelyi-Perez (677 friends)

As a child, Maya used to sleep with a pencil under her pillow so she could draw her dreams onto her bedroom walls the next morning. Since then, she has traveled the Arctic to study Ice Sculpture, lived in a Parisian squatted bank building making surrealist costumes and performances, traversed India to study religion and textiles, and began animating as a grad student at Harvard. Before that she studied Fine Art at The Cooper Union and Hunter College in NYC.

Recent projects include directing the music video "New Cannonball Blues" for TV on the Radio, as part of the larger feature film "Nine Types of Light" and co-curating a 22-artist animated exquisite corpse. Maya has worked on projects with a diverse group of filmmakers/animators and artists including: Michel Gondry, Aaron Rose, TV on the Radio, Isaiah Seret, Janie Geiser, and Jamie Caliri. Her award-winning animations have been shown at various festivals/venues and museums internationally. Most recently: The Museo de Ponce in Puerto Rico, The London International Animation Festival, The Melbourne International Animation Festival, MoCA LA, The Hammer Museum, The Museum of Arts and Design NYC, The Big Screen Project NYC, The Harvard Film Archives, RedCat, The Prague Quadrennial 2011, Anilogue Film Festival, among others.

Maya, a native New Yorker, was born to a Hungarian Psychologist and Colombian Poet.
She is currently an MFA candidate in Experimental Animation at CalArts. To see more of her work go to: www.mayaerdelyi.com
