I'm making short animated films until I win a BAFTA. This channel is the whole journey - unfiltered.
I'm a self-taught animator and neurodivergent filmmaker with no current film school and no big
budget behind me. A few years ago I trained at the Aardman Academy, made a film
entirely by myself, and it went on to win 29 awards and screen at over 130 film
festivals worldwide - including becoming eligible for a BAFTA short film submission.
Now I'm going again. One film at a time.
On this channel you'll find:
→ Behind-the-scenes of making a short animated film from scratch
→ How to qualify a short film for BAFTA and navigate the BAFTA qualifying festivals
list
→ Animation tutorials and filmmaking tips for independent filmmakers
→ Honest talk about short film festival strategy — what works and what doesn't
→ The real experience of being a neurodivergent creative pursuing a big goal
→ Everything I learn about storytelling, character animation, and making films with no
budget
If you've ever been told you couldn't - or you've got a dream you've been putting off
- you're in the right place.
I'm a British animator and independent filmmaker based in the UK. New videos follow
each film's development from first idea to festival submission.
