After receiving a B.A. in English Literature at the University of Virginia, PES migrated to film as a storytelling medium. He earned critical acclaim for the short film Fresh Guacamole (2012), which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film,[2] making it the shortest film ever nominated for an Oscar.[3] He created "Paper", a commercial for Honda Motor Co., which earned him a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Commercial in 2016.
