Neil Pymer is a director working in film, animation & interactive - primarily in the wonderfully diverse and innovative interactive department at Aardman. He specialises in projects that are difficult to achieve, probably haven't been attempted before, that educate, bring about change and have strong narratives at their heart... ideally all of the above!

Neil has recently directed an animated music video for Ferris & Sylvester, BBC iReporter (which teaches young adults to navigate the murky waters of fake news) and StorySign (an app which teaches deaf children how to read) which recently won Graphite and White D&AD awards, four Gold Cannes Lions and a BAFTA nomination.

Neil also talks at festivals and runs workshops for students and professionals alike at Aardman Academy, D&AD, BFI, NME Lifehacks and the Prince’s Trust by inspiring them to fail fast, think like children and to get their hands dirty.
