Welcome to the light table.
This is where Stories by Mac is quietly becoming an animation studio. Short films first. Features someday. It’s early, it’s a little messy, and it’s the most fun we’ve ever had.

Why animation?
I’ve spent my whole career making live-action films, with stories filmed on every continent people live on. I love it, and I’m not going anywhere.
But there’s a kind of story, and a kind of feeling, that only animation gives you. Especially when you watch it together as a family. The fun, the adventure, the tears. It bonds you. It makes memories that last for decades. That’s what I’ve wanted to make for as long as I can remember.
So I’m learning the craft from the ground up, bouncing balls first, and building the studio as I go. You’re welcome to watch.
And now I’ve got a very important first audience on the way.
