Michelle and Uri Kranot were born in Israel, and both graduated with honors from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem.
[4][5][6] While the Kranots continue to produce traditionally-animated films, they have become known for experimental techniques that merge traditional animated filmmaking with virtual reality and other immersive technologies.
[17] The Kranots' 2021 The Hangman at Home was a multi-format project, released as a short film, single-user, and multi-user VR experience.
The film's single-user VR experience, and the multi-user version called "We Are At Home,"[3] won the Grand Jury Prize for Best VR Immersive Work at the 2020 Venice International Film Festival, and the 2021 Grand Prize Masque d'Or at the Paris New Images Festival, among others.
The couple have also announced an animated feature film in development based on the Tom Gauld graphic novel, Goliath & Me.
