About Me
As you might have guessed from the URL, of this website, my name is Kilian Muster. I’m a designer from Germany who emigrated to Tokyo, Japan.
I (re)discovered my love for animated films in 2019, when I realized, if I ever were to really make that animated series I always wanted to create, it would have to be now or never.
And so I went and produced three episodes of Phungus & Mowld as a one-man production, doing absolutely everything myself. The pilot episode received several awards at various (minor) film festivals.

In full Dunning-Kruger delusions of grandheur, I decided to create the pilot for Shadywoods, and hired professional help. No, not of that kind, but voice actors. It even got a few awards already.
Until I get rich selling the series to a major studio, I’m back working on Fair Game, a series that I can and will produce entirely on my own and release via various social media channels.
Stay tuned for updates on that front. Follow my blog(s) for each project if you’re interested, or check out my YouTube channel.
I think following your dream is the perfect way to get over your midlife-crisis. Hopefully people will have as much fun watching my animated stories as I enjoy making them.
