Irene's Ghost

Nominated for a BIFA award 2018. An exciting project collaborating with live action Director Iain Cunningham. We worked alongside Iain, as he uncovered the mysteries surrounding his mother's death when he was a boy. We created animation that evoked Iain's existing memories, whilst crystallising new thoughts that emerged during the making of the film.

Another fantastic collaboration, this time with Dr Becky Say from Newcastle University. Bringing back together the team who worked on Centrefold, this animated film uses a pared down style to give information on Breech presentation in pregnant women. And we are super pleased that the film features on the NHS choices website and so should be helping hundreds of women make an informed choice.

Centrefold

This film is born out of the frustration of witnessing the rhetoric that has demonised those that are poor in the UK. The Dole Animators are a group of out of work claimants, who wanted to speak up and tell us all what it is really like to live in Poverty in the UK. A collaboration with the Dole Animators, Dr Ruth Patrick and Leeds University.
