Gemma BURDITT

UK2006 8min Digi-Beta Color World Premiere

Synopsis

Diretor

Gemma BURDITT

Gemma Burditt was brought up in Somerset, England and began her artistic education at Exeter College in Devon. While there she developed a keen interest in theatre and performance leading her to study Theatre design and Puppetry at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London.

After three years of study, Gemma began to look at how other mediums such as animation, could be incorporated into stage performance. Her time as a puppeteer in small theater companies allowed her to examine this further until the appeal of animation was so strong that she decided to take the animation direction course at the National Film and Television School.

Theatre and performance continue to strongly influence her work.
