About RatTailTony

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to make movies and art that inspire people and express what I stand for in this world. I'm an amateur in every sense of the word, not having much beyond a high school diploma. But I don't want to let that stop me from doing what I love most, and if it means having to pull some extra weight, then so be it.

My top goal in life is to do for others what my favorite stories have done for me. For now, animation is the main way I'm going to try doing that. Unlike some parts of the entertainment industry, I have massive faith in animation's potential to tell stories and express peoples' humanity in ways that would be impossible without it. A lot of my biggest inspirations have stressed that it's a medium, not a genre, and that the big studios just don't treat it as such. That's why I have a fierce drive to help fight that in my own small way, by crafting my own dramatic stories that I hope can build upon what Disney or Dreamworks started all those years ago.

It's going to be a long, uphill battle to even begin getting near a goal like that, but at this point, I wouldn't have it any other way.

    Friendly, driven, motivated, and pleasant. Anthony has a strong vision and knows the direction of his projects, but is still open to collaboration. I definitely recommend him as a director and writer of truly compelling stories.

    I cannot say enough nice things about Tony.  He live directed me and was so supportive and just made me feel relaxed and good to go.  His script was tight and well written so it was really easy to see what the character was feeling in the scenes.  Would totally love to work with him again and wish him nothing but the best on this and all future projects

  • @Voice_of_many_tounges

    To say that he is passionate doesn't do him justice. He is a very talented and creative director with great vision and passion. His kidness and patience knows no bounds. I see him winning at least 3 academy awards for best director.

    Excellent direction and easy to understand intent when working together. Knows their characters well and gives a rich understanding even for smaller scenes. Pleasure to work with, and cares about their art.

    I absolutely loved working with/for Tony! He wrote a *beautiful* script, and I'm so happy/proud to be part of his Star Dog project (Empty Pages)! I know that it's going to be *fantastic* when it's all done, and I can't wait for everyone to see it. :) Tony is as nice as can be, and I truly hope to work with him again in the future!

    It was a pleasure working with Tony, he is clearly very passionate about his work. Furthermore he's professional, kind and patient. He has amazing communication and answered all of my (numerous) questions with speed and clarity. I would love to work with him again sometime in the future!
