About the Director

To me, no matter what age you are, you can always enjoy a good cartoon. I've always loved cartoons and so i thought to myself "i'm going to do that". I got into animation  via illustrating, and studied my Animation BA at the University of Westminster graduating in 2009. I then did an MA in animation direction at the National Film and Television School, which Buy Buy Baby is my Graduation Film. In the short time that I have been doing animation I have had films shown at festivals and gallerys, been nominated for best student film at the British Animation Awards, won a BBC pitch for a short film and directed commercials for brand such as Lush. The way I see it is that everyone loves traditional cartoons, the kind of cartoons that used to be played before the feature at a cinema. That’s the kind of animation I'm trying to do with Buy Buy Baby. What I really want to do is to share my creations for people to sit and enjoy much like the animations that did the same for me.
