Very excited to be able to share a trailer for my first narrative short - The Eating of an Orange.
A massive thanks to Coral Rose Kindred-Boothby @thesilverfield for making the music with me.
And to @joe_hirst for the sound mix.
Come find me this weekend at the RCA graduate show in White City to see the full thing!
I've been trying out painting the wibbly ceramic plates I've been making with designs based on the original animation wheels. Anyone interested in eating your dinner off a gif?
Sometimes it is sure good to make something solid.

@mcranimation Book Club: Intimate Animation plus signing
Tuesday 11 Nov 2025 - 18:00
Manchester Central Library 2
Runtime: 90 mins (approx.)
In recent years, there has been a surge in animated projects that have pushed boundaries, broken taboos, prompted discussions and wowed festival and online audiences alike through compelling storytelling and unmatched artistry. Intimate Animation, the new book from Skwigly Editor in Chief @benlmitchell and @lbyellow , is based on their long-running podcast of the same name. Their new book tours the landscape of contemporary animated films that deal with themes of love, intimacy, relationships, anatomy and sexuality — and the incredible artists behind them.
In this special presentation, the authors and special guests @joannaquinn and @mkbanimation will look at the role animation has played in presenting elaborate and complex concepts relating to love and sexuality, as well as how the medium can be used to visually represent emotions, feelings and concepts not easily described in words nor depicted through live-action filmmaking.
Books will be available for purchase at an exclusive MAF discount.

Very excited (and slightly late) to announce that The Eating of an Orange is going on an Australian tour, first to the epic SXSW Sydney and then on to the Adelaide Film Festival. I deeply wish I could be joining it but thank you so much to both festivals for showing and looking after the film so far from home! 🍊 @sxswsydney@adlfilmfest
