Big Picture Film Festival - The Brothers McLeod - False Starts and Surprises

Join BAFTA winning Stratford-based brothers Greg and Myles McLeod for a fun and fascinating discussion about the life and death of ideas!

With decades of experience in animation, writing and storytelling, Greg and Myles offer a unique glimpse into the unpredictable, mysterious nature of creativity, sharing personal anecdotes and lessons learned throughout their careers. Find out where their ideas come from, how they evolve and why some progress and why others fail to materialise into anything at all.

This engaging talk features exclusive screenings of projects that, for one reason or another, never made it to the final stage, giving audiences rare access to unseen concepts, abandoned animations and ideas that almost became reality. Alongside these lost gems, the brothers will also showcase projects that emerged unexpectedly, born from chance encounters and surprise opportunities.

Whether you’re a fan of the brothers’ work, an aspiring creator or simply curious about the behind-the-scenes process, this event promises to be an entertaining and enlightening look at the highs and lows of bringing ideas to life.
