The
Rauch Brothers, Mike and Tim Rauch, are independent animators out of
Brooklyn, NY.
In 2007, they formed Rauch Brothers Animation, a studio that
collaborates with visionaries in literature, music, performance,
and other creative arts through character design, animation, and
visual storytelling.
The Rauch
Brothers have recently teamed with David Isay,
five time Peabody Award-winning radio documentarian and founder
of StoryCorps, to create an animated documentary of the
piece from StoryCorps about a World War II veteran Joseph
Robertson who recalls shooting a young German soldier at The Battle
of the Bulge, his "saddest memory”, called Germans
in the Woods.
Germans in the Woods has one 2nd place in the ASIFA-East Animation Festival and is screening at film festivals worldwide including the Animation Block Party and The Palm Springs International Shorts Fest.
