Visiting Lecturer: Daryl Shute - Magic Light Pictures - Wednesday 6th April


In a change to the published timetable, visiting lecturer, Daryl Shute will be talking at UCA Rochester on Wednesday 6th April @ 2pm in Lecture Theatre One.

Daryl Shute is a producer (among other things) at Magic Light Pictures. Founded in 2003 by producers Martin Pope (The Heart of Me, Lawless Heart) and Michael Rose (Chicken Run, Curse of the Wererabbit) the company produces and distributes high quality films, and builds and manages children’s brands. Recent productions include The Gruffalo, an animated half hour special produced with the award winning Studio Soi, nominated for an Oscar at this year’s Academy Awards; Chico & Rita, a collaboration with the Marsical Studio in Barcelona, is an animated love story for adults and Wild Target, a live action comedy staring Emily Blunt, Bill Nighy and Rupert Grint.

Obviously, you're all very busy finishing your Unit 5 animations and Transcription projects, but please use this opportunity to schedule a break. Daryl will be screening The Gruffalo, a 'making of' and discussing his role as producer. Don't miss it.

  2. This is going to be another good one! Plus, anything that gives the excuse for a picture of Emily Blunt is worth it.
