i'm back...sorry

It's been a long time since i've done anything with this blog, again. sorry about that. I've now started a MA in Animation at the University of West England (Bristol) in fact i'm just about to finish my first term (of three). eep. It's been one hell of a trip getting here, I applied to both UWE and The NFTS ( however that was for Producing) and al though the experience was a greta, I learnt a lot about Pitching which was exciting, it was generally decided i wasn't the best fit for the course. I am very happy to be in Bristol however, the course if amazing, my peers equal so, lectures smashing and Bristol it has to be said feels very much like home.

Another massive thing that happened in conjunction with getting on my Masters degree was that i also managed to swing a BAFTA scholarship, which is a little insane. You can read about it here. It was truly such a great honour and to be honest surprise to not only be considered but awarded the funding for the full cost of my Masters which is huge wait off, I can tell you.

Me and my fellow recipients at the Bafta drinks party!

Like so many of the best and most exciting things that have happened to me in the last 5 years have come though not only hard work but actually just sitting down and applying for things with a kind of f**k it why not attitude.

I'll try and update things from this term soon, maybe over christmas, it'll be nice to get back into the blog again, regardless of how little attention and how easily I forget to update it...Ever.

Love, Lust and Libido: animated short films about love, sex and relationships.

Myself and independent animator Ben Mitchel have curated a screening of adult animated shorts, the films stem from a conversation we had when we first met about the possibility of more explicit subject manners in animation being more accessible and easier to discuss. As well as being engaging and often funny erotica in animation is a juxtapositionn of what is normally considered a child friendly medium. We aim to change that haha. 

The event in association with Skwigly online animation Magazine will be held in Bristol with CineMe.

The wonderful Marcelo Cervone ( musician and composer for my film Difficulty) has put my film up on his website and gives a short account of working with my self. Check out his site and indeed his impressive work, he is a busy fella.

His music made my film, the soundscape he made was hark back to every stop-motion film i loved from my childhood whilst still being utterly orginal. He was a pleasure to work with, and his personal character and attitude is a joy to experience!
