 | | Devotees of the Czech animation maestro Jan Svankmajer, the Quays display a passion for detail, a breathtaking command of color and texture, and an uncanny use of focus and camera movement that make their films unique and instantly recognizable. |
 | | The Quays have also directed pop promos for His Name is Alive, Michael Penn, Sparklehorse, 16 Horsepower, and Peter Gabriel (contributing to his celebrated “Sledgehammer” video), and have also directed ground-breaking commercials for, among others, The Partnership for a Drug Free America, Coca Cola, MTV, Nikon, and Slurpee. |
 | | Most recently the Quays have made four short films in collaboration with composer Steve Martland for a live event at the Tate Modern in London (read about the collaboration in The Guardian) and are in pre-production on their long-awaited second feature THE PIANO TUNER OF EARTHQUAKES. |
