My name is Aidan Boulton. I am an animator and storyteller drawn to dark humour, absurdity, and world-building. In ‘The Gnome & The Egg’, I explore the fine line between comedy and tragedy, satirising the fragile egos that drive tyrannical leaders.

My work aims to entertain and provoke laughter while encouraging audiences to reflect on the deeper themes beneath the humour. This film is just the beginning of a larger story, which I am continuing to develop.
