Stephen Featherstone

Stephen studied Film & Television Production as a postgraduate at the University of Bristol and MA Animation at UCA Farnham. He has worked in production and post-production roles in animation, film and television. Prior to this he completed a BA in Fine Art, specialising in sculpture.

Stephen’s practice merges his background in fine art, and his post-graduate and industrial experience in film and animation, to found an approach to filmmaking that enables him to work independently and to use moving image media as a means of personal expression, while making films that retain a clear relationship to mainstream narrative cinema. The practice investigates transdisciplinarity and draws on techniques from parallel forms, including film, animation, theatre and the graphic novel. A current area of inquiry considers the grammatical and metaphorical potential of multi-dynamic image techniques when placed within a physical, three-dimensional screen space.
