Hilda Season Two launched on Netflix today. It’s a beautiful series that we are lucky enough to work on. The cast is excellent as are the scripts and Andy & the team at Mercury Animation do a stunning job. The source material created by Luke Pearson is so good and the team at Silvergate really respect that, and it shows on screen.

I had the pleasure of directing season 2 of Scream Street, inheriting a great cast and a lovely production team. The scripts were great, check out the first episodes out this week.
