Episode description

Skwigly.com presents Animation One-To-Ones featuring Penny Whitehouse in conversation with Alex Davy, storyboard artist and director at Blue Zoo. Born in London and based in Newcastle, Alex’s work includes storyboarding for BBC Bitesize (Arcus Studios), 'Incredible Ant' (Wildseed Studios), 'Norman Picklestripes' (Factory-Create) and a range of shows at Blue Zoo including 'Millie & Lou' and the second season of 'Pip & Posy'. In 2022 Alex’s role with the studio expanded to shorts directing with her successful pitch on a short film for the charity Beyond Equality, who wanted to explore the concept of the ‘Armour of Masculinity’ or ‘Man Box’ that young men find themselves socially pressured to stay within. The resulting film, ‘Armour’, tells the story of James, a young man who feels obliged to speak and act a certain way to impress his male friends, only serving to alienate a female classmate he has a crush on. Released towards the end of last year, 'Armour' is the latest short film from Blue Zoo following such celebrated offerings as 'Daddy Christmas', 'Lynx and Birds', 'Mamoon', 'Sinking Feeling', 'Ada' and 'In Shape'. Interview conducted by Penny Whitehouse Produced, edited and presented by Ben Mitchell
