Role: Co-director; Mixed Media Animator

Context:
I have been working in STAGE center’s film department since March 2024. STAGE stands for “Scientists, Technologists, and Artists Generating Exploration”. The group explores technology’s role in communicating complex scientific principles, working at the intersection of the scientific method and artistic practice.
My work for STAGE has primarily orbited around the third instalment to the ongoing docuseries, “Curiosity: The Making of a Scientist” that will likely be released in mid 2026. The episode follows the extraordinary life of physicist, educator and executive, Walter Massey.
