Why This Young Animator's Growth Is Insane

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.
