CEO & Executive Producer
Robot Playground Media

As CEO and Executive Producer, Ervin Han leads Robot Playground Media’s original development across all formats and platforms. He also writes, directs, and produces various animation projects, from features to short films and TV series. Ervin created Singapore’s first adult animated comedy series Downstairs, currently on Netflix and now into its third season. He has produced and directed over a dozen short films that have travelled internationally to festivals, and his works have won multiple Asian Academy Creative Awards and an Asian Television Award for Best 2D Animated Programme.

Ervin regularly attends and pitches at markets such as MIPCOM, Cannes Film Market, Kidscreen, Asia TV Forum and Annecy. Most recently, he won Singapore broadcaster Mediacorp’s Content Development Pitch 2022 with A Banquet for Hungry Ghosts, an adult animated horror anthology series which is in production. He is currently in pre-production for The Violinist, a feature animation that he is directing and the first co-production of its kind between Singapore and Spain. An 18-year animation veteran, Ervin hopes to help elevate Southeast Asia animation as a well of talent, craft, and stories for a global audience.
