What We Make
Why We Make It
Triclops Films is an Atlanta-based, black-owned animation production company looking to make its mark on this magical medium. Our films are made with an unpretentious approach that never forgets the human hand within the creative process. We imbue new life into your music videos, social media content, ads, and more with the same quirky, attention-grabbing quality found in our original award-winning work. We provide you with the confidence that comes from years of production experience with the ability to work under an array of budgets and deadlines, all while ensuring the project stays true to your brand's identity.
Our goal is to cultivate an environment that embraces the voices of a wide array of diverse filmmakers and creatives, all with the single-minded mission of creating daring projects that challenge what can be done both stylistically and narrative-wise within the medium. 
Mikael Trench (Founder)
Since the age of 12, Mikael Trench has been creating films using stop motion animation. Heavily inspired by the works of Ray Harryhausen, Willis O’ Brien, Adam Elliott, and many others, Trench would go on to become an award-winning stop motion filmmaker, with his films being shown in worldwide film festivals starting at age 16. He graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2020 with a BFA in Animation where he directed the award-winning short film, To Love a Ladybug, and created his trademark, the TriClops.
Along with his own work, Trench has experience working on stop motion projects in Los Angeles for brands such as Jurassic World, Hot Wheels, American Girl and more.
