About Me I am a 2D digital animator, illustrator and character designer currently based in Bristol.

Screen Culture My final year film focuses on the use of technology that utiles screens in modern society.
“We live in a modern age dominated by screens screens on our phones, on our computers, on our TVs, on our tablets... we are always the touch of a button away from contact or entertainment. Joe is an average guy, and through his daily routine there is a pattern emerging; there are screens in every aspect of his life and everyone is using them. Is this screen culture bringing us closer together, or are we growing further apart?” The film has been entered for the Encounters Film Festival 2014.
