Miwa Matreyek is a director, animator, and designer working in Los Angeles, California. In 2007, Matreyek received her MFA in Experimental Animation and Integrated Media at the California Institute of the Arts. While being a student, she developed her talent and passion for animation and collage. Matreyek collaborated with fellow students and interactive multi-media expert Chi-wang Yang and American singer Anna Oxygen to form a theater company called Cloud Eye Control. Matreyek won the Student Grand Prize at the Platform Festival for her thesis project performance Dreaming of Lucid Living in 2007. She is known for her performance Myth and Infrastructure and her short film Lumerence (2012), which its premiere was presented at the reputable TED Global Conference in Oxford, England in July 2010. Matreyek's second short film, Lumerence (2012), came out three years after her first short film, Panorama City. The film has a more experimental approach, since she used collages and digital software to add a narrative to her story.
