Leo Wright

Leo Wright is multi-award winning stop motion filmmaker.

He developed his film production skills at Aardman as part of their In-Studio Training Course - an opportunity to create a stop motion short film at their Gas Ferry Road Studios for 6 months. This included support and industry-level training from animation leaders such as David Sproxton, Peter Lord, Suzie Templeton and Sam Morrison. This resulted in the creation of Leo's short film: The Big Bad Wolf. The Big Bad Wolf was shortlisted for the Animation category at the Sony Future Filmmaker Awards and screened at the 69th BFI London Film Festival.

Leo also has a First Class BA Hons Degree in Stop Motion Animation, with an additional Certificate of Excellence in Animation. Leo's student films won two Royal Television Society Awards for Best Writing and Best Production Design, along with an 'Honourable Mention' Certificate for Production Design at the Ray Harryhausen Awards.

Leo has received media coverage in Variety, BBC Midlands Today, BBC Breakfast, BBC Radio WM, British Cinematographer, Black Country Bugle, Express and Star. Leo's work has been recognised by the Royal British Legion, British Red Cross and 10 Downing Street.

Leo continues to pursue his passion in animation and telling quality, heart-warming stories through the medium of stop motion whilst working on his next project - The Dudley Bug.
