My name is Edward Hippisley-Cox, I am an animator, film maker and general creator. There’s nothing better than making ‘stuff’. The moving picture has held my interest from an early age. I remember thinking, when I first saw the film Donnie Darko aged 13 “I want to make stuff like this”. The independent low budget film is about a troubled teenager with schizophrenia, the ability to time travel, the end of the world and a six foot tall bunny rabbit named Frank… it has it all.
– When it comes to working on a project I am more of an improviser for ideas, methods and problem-solving. Many of my best pieces of work have been the result of ideas generated during production making them fresh and relevant. I am a good team player, always coming up with quirky ideas and suggestions, as well as a good listener and contributor to the creative process
