Testimonials

I had the pleasure of working with Stu on two series at Moonbug. He came on to the first mid-production and I immediately knew the project was creatively in safe hands. Stuart guided and inspired the animation crew while skilfully managing stakeholders notes, resolving the complexities of the brief and delivering laugh out load episode after laugh out loud episode. The second show was a new IP that required the creation of a whole universe and visual language... Stuart's experience, diligence and passion for the work were a huge factor in the successful launch of the show. I hope we work together in the future.

Jay Woolley

Senior Director of Animation Production, Moonbug Entertainment

I've had the pleasure of working with Stuart at Flicks Films, BKN & EA games. Stu creates clear ideas and visuals from script to storyboard and his storytelling is second to none, he is a delight to work with.
As a Producer and Director he always brings humour to any production and shows great dedication. He is extra helpful to his team and always well prepared and well organised. A consummate professional, he is thoroughly efficient and has the great respect of his colleagues.

Joy Whilby

Senior Producer at Territory Studios Ltd

Stuart is one of the funniest and most talented directors I've had the pleasure to work with. He has a real knack for storytelling and brings a cinematic flair to all his work. Over the two years I worked with him, he delivered two features and three series, bringing a consistently high level of commitment and quality to each one. As a team leader, he knows how to motivate and get the best out of his production team. I would work with him again in a second.

Stuart is an incredible Director and creative with a solution focus mindset to any situation. He understands what makes content funny and how to connect stories to kids in mindful, funny and fearless way.

Josh Campbell

Production and Development executive

Stuart has a first-rate sense of humour and an easy-going nature that is appreciated by all of his staff . His passion for animation, performance, and storytelling is evident by the excitement he exudes when he describes a scene. It has been an inspirational experience working with him and I have benefited from his knowledge as a Director. I look forward to our continued collaboration and would welcome an opportunity to work with him in the future.

Colin Oleksyn

Animation Director, Rainmaker Entertainment

Stuart is a wonderful director for a storyboard artist to work with. He is a terrific communicator and a master storyteller. His storyboard launches are peppered with acting and humour. On a fast paced schedule, Stuart can bring the characters and story vividly to life in a matter of minutes. He thinks cinematically too and yet, for all the vision he imparts, he trusts and encourages his story artists to bring ideas to the table. Stuart makes me feel motivated, inspired, and a valued part of his team, despite the fact we communicate predominantly online. He is in short, the director you long to have. I would recommend him and work with him again, in a heartbeat.
