Trevor Hardy

“I have been a professional stop-motion animator and director for over 20 years. I have made everything from adverts to music videos. All my stop-motions have a very ‘hand-made’ feel to them and a very individual style. In 2018 I directed my first stop-motion feature film called Strike. Strike was shown at over 600 cinemas across Europe and around 80 Vue and Picture House cinemas here in the UK. Strike is currently showing on ITVX, Prime, and Sony. I have my own studio that I set up called ‘Pigbird’ where I create everything myself to ensure my films have a very personal and loving feel.”
