ABOUT ME

My name is Will Bishop Stephens. I make Animated Films as a writer, director and animator. I also make sculpture, prints and collage, and I’m a published author and illustrator.

I tend to use humour in my work and usually a hands-on, lo-tech approach, even when I’m using comparatively sophisticated techniques in animation. I am software agnostic, using whatever is most appropriate, and learning fast. I have a playful approach to all my work.

Since  graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2006 I have made films for the NHS’s anniversary, the CBBC website, LBRUT Council & Sunday Best Records, working directly with the clients as Director/Producer.

(see commissions for more details.)

I have won awards at Edinburgh Film Festival, London International Film Festival & Premier Plans, Angers and Trinidad & Tobago Film Festival amongst others.

I teach Animation at degree level, running the first year animation course at the University of East London, and on the Foundation Moving Image course at UCA Farnham.

I have 10 years of experience leading educational workshops for teachers and young people with a range of abilities.
