MEW LAB: Burrowing Beyond The Surface

  • PDF
- Put-me-in-the-intro-Mew Lab Logo 1920x1080Welcome to Mew Lab the independent collective talent of Directors Shaun Clark and Kim Noce. Both Directors are graduates of The National Film and Television School and specialize in creating Animation content for Films, Television and commercials.

Shaun and Kim are practicing filmmakers whose films have appeared at major film festivals. With a bold style of narrative film making ranging from animated documentaries, horrors to children’s films.

Their work has won a number of awards, screened in festival circuits around the world and have on UK and US television.

"It is definitely not easy for independent animation to rise amongst the economic survival worries, especially in its most challenging (but fascinating) form, that of the investigation of the human psyche. The Mew Lab work shows how persistence, experimentation and artistic goal-setting are combined to give a result that always excites the senses and the intellect."
Vassilis Kroustallis
