'Birds of a Feather' - A Stop Motion Short on Sexuality
Birds of a Feather is an animated short film that follows a man and his struggle with his identity, projected anxieties and relationships over the course of an evening.He has to contend with his insecurities with being seen with another man and his fear as feathers start to grow from his body.
The film will look at the wories and upset a person can face from both internalised and externalised homophobia. Ultimately, it will draw on current events, such as the attack in Orlando, and explore how even now the LGBT community can find itself under attack and where that fear and hatred can come from.

Stop-Motion Director and Part-Time Recluse who Sometimes Draws
I move things that can't move, draw things that don't exist and write things that can't happen
Born twenty-something years ago in a tiny village that could easily be mistaken for a squished fruit fly on a map, I moved to Farnham, Surrey to study BA Animation at the University for the Creative Arts.
It was there in my attic that I found an oil painting of myself. “Perhaps I should nail my soul to the Devil's altar,” I murmured and in a flash, my soul escaped my body and hurtled towards the painting. Unfortunately, my soul ended up missing and hitting a near-by armature. And from then on I was transformed into a stop-motion animator. I was awarded a First Class Honours for my troubles.
After skulking in the shadows of the Animation studios at the Royal College of Art in search of a Masters I have now escaped victorious with the other two thirds of my collective, Tripstitch and have been released into the mortal realm, a phrase here meaning 'South London'.
