QUESTION#1: How do your top 3 favorite films influence your filmmaking?:

My top 3 films films have helped me develop in different ways as a film maker, A pigeon sat on a branch reflecting on existence really helped me to find my style and tone of film making, I'm a big fan of Being John Malkovich and how surreal and bizarre that allows itself to be, and finally Shirley Valentine for its wholesome British humour and realness.

QUESTION#2: What do you wish someone would ask you about your film and why?:

Well, I've had 2 years of people asking me every question under the sun about this film. I know why I made it, I think its intensions are clear on its own and I think it tells the story that I want it to tell. I suppose the making of it is quite fun to discuss, the school I was at, the people I got to work with and the pressures that we were under to make it. I also spent a lot of time developing who the individual characters were in the factory, and they're all fun and quirky.

QUESTION#3: What scared you the most about making this film?:

Well there was a lot of pressure to get the story right and make the film as tight as possible, I do worry slightly that people are more focused on the the films beauty then it's message, but there are worse problems to have. Time was never on our side, and though we has a big team, everyone was stretched incredibly thin.

QUESTION#4: You have to choose one to make your next movie: 1) unlimited budget but only a single take of every shot 2) Academy award winning composer, but they're not allowed to watch the film 3) A-list cast, but they're directed using only charades. Which one do you pick and why?:

Option 1 every time! Animations are often really underfunded and it would be great to have another big budget stop motion film that could employ lots of people, as for only being 1 take, thats usually the way in animation anyway as we make animatics first and have to be super precise as its incredibly costly. It would be lovely to have an award winning composer and might be fun to see what surreal thing they come up with, and it would be nice to have an A list cast purely for publicity, but I truly think a good performance can come from anyone.

QUESTION#5: What's does the future hold for this film and you?:

Hopefully to continue to make animations id like to get in to TV series, I would like to make my own studio some day, I think I need more experience first, but I like being in control and creating my own opportunities and eventually opportunities for others.
