Experience the World is a soft spoken journey through the activities we experience every day but with an absurdist twist. Our first entry, The Train, follows you as you ride the Chicago red line train home at rush hour--until it takes an unexpected turn into cosmic horror.

Director Biography - Duro Howard Jr.



Duro Howard Jr. is an animator that has worked in the commercial and corporate industry for over a decade, so you can bet your ass he can create one hell of a graph! He is the creative director and lead animator at Tiny Wolf, a small design and animation studio he co-founded. His main mission in life is to create dope art with dope people. He currently lives and works in Chicago, but never stays away from his family out west for too long. Howdy!

Since he was a young lad he has always been fascinated by sci-fi, fantasy, or horror, and sometimes a combination of all three. His favorite thing to do is make art, but when he’s not creating, he loves hiking, his cats, Rupaul’s Drag Race, and fried chicken!

Director Statement

“So I guess this is my film-making debut? Working on ETW - The Train was such a dope experience! Being able to just have fun and create weird characters in weird situations is what it’s all about, and Brad gets that! Collaborating with the insanely talented creator Brad Pike to bring his vision to life was such an absurdly fun experience!” -Duro :-)
