Other Film Work
On Meeting An Agent is a series of eight short animations based on the experiences of a robot debut novelist called Roland and his attempts to secure a literary agent. Any similarities to the human Roland Denning are entirely coincidental although, it has to be said, both wrote a book called The Beach Beneath The Pavement. These films have become surprisingly popular - in fact much more popular than my book. They were made very quickly using a web-based animation tool called xtranormal (which I believe no longer exists).
