I was a director for Aardman for a few years but gravitated into writing and am still involved with them on a fairly regular basis.
At Nexus I directed multiple commercials as well as TV content (Monkey Dust) and music videos. We were also constantly looking for and developing ideas for broadcast, so informal discussions with the producers were an ongoing part of the Nexus world. We continued a productive relationship after I moved to Bristol and joined Aardman.
I worked with Mark Baker and Neville Astley and other writers on both Peppa Pig and Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom
