Animocity started out as a site for Royal College of Art animation students to share their films, production stories and general thoughts. Now we're all long-graduated but we keep updating (irregularly)!

We are all freelance film-makers, so if you like what you see and would like to discuss commissioning work you can contact any of us by emailing lauriehi_AT_hotmail_DOT_com. Any comments about the work or the site are also welcome at the same address. We hope you enjoy your stay.

Gots lots to catch up on plus a few older items to add first.

Back in April I was asked if I’d like to participate in the Animation Season at the Cine Lumiere in London – my films My First Taste Of Death and Photograph Of Jesus were screened and I was also involved in the selection of the British section – films made during and after college by ex-RCA students.

I did a quick intro and Q&A at my session.
