Krumme has gained international attention and numerous festival prizes for personal work that features intricate shifts of perspective, expressive characters and occasional social commentary. His commercial work includes animated ads for NASDAQ, Levi's, AST Computers and the Milk Board. He also directed a segment of the French computer animated feature Opera Imaginaire. He is currently in Hollywood, developing Crockett Johnson's Harold and the Purple Crayon and Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are for TriStar.

Krumme's award winning shorts including Rope Dance, Crossroads, Passage and Spectators. Each explores surreal distortions of space and/or size relationships. What appears to be flat surface in one sequence may turn out to be the side or even bottom of something in the next image. His new reality keeps audiences guessing and has made his work a hit when shown in programs including Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation.

Krumme has taught animation in Germany and Brazil and is a founder of the dynamic European organization, Cartoon.

Special thanks to Marty McNamara for organizing these special events. The events are sponsored by ASIFA-SF, the Bay Area Animation Association, the Goethe Institute, Landmark Theatres and De Anza Community College.
