Adam Pesapane (born May 26, 1973), known by the pseudonym PES, is an Oscar and Emmy-nominated American director and stop-motion animator of numerous short films and commercials.
In 2013, his short film Fresh Guacamole was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.
It is the shortest film ever nominated for an Oscar.
In 2016, his commercial for the Honda Motor Co.
entitled "Paper" earned an Emmy Award nomination for "Outstanding Commercial of 2016." After receiving a B.A.
in English Literature at the University of Virginia, PES migrated to film as a storytelling medium.
His use of everyday objects and stop-motion animation to create original material is instantly recognizable.
His work has been recognized in the United States and internationally, especially the short films Roof Sex, KaBoom!, Game Over, Western Spaghetti, and Fresh Guacamole.
An early influence on PES's animation style is the work of Czech surrealist Jan Švankmajer.
