Richard Bazley (born 28 November 1962 in Devon, England) is an Emmy Nominated Director. Although now a Director of both Live Action and Animation he comes from an animation background. His credits include Disney’s “Pocahontas”, “Hercules”, “Tarzan” and a Lead Animator and Sequence Director on celebrated Warner Bros. Film “The Iron Giant” (Directed by Brad Bird), a project he had pitched many years earlier to Don Bluth Studios. Bazley started his career on the ground breaking “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”. Bazley who works on both sides of the Atlantic set up Bazley Films in the US and UK and produced the animated short “The Journal of Edwin Carp” narrated by Hugh Laurie (House). It was the first animated short created in Flash to be released Theatrically.
Bazley moved into Directing on commercials and series with popular commercials for Sky and Go Compare. In 2012 he Directed two Episodes of “Full English” at Rough Draft Studios (USA), a TV show made for the UK’s Channel Four (2012).
Through Argosy Film Group Bazley Directed “Lost Treasure Hunt”, an animated half-hour pilot for a proposed TV Series. In 2015 Bazley received two Emmy nominations for his work on the show.
Bazley developed several Feature films and is attached as Director. In 2011 Bazley teamed up with Gary Kurtz (Prod. “Star Wars”, “Dark Crystal”) to set up the film production company GBK Hybrid based in London and Los Angeles. GBK Hybrid’s first short “Centurion Resurrection” filmed in Bath has played at numerous Film Festivals and won many awards.
“The Chimeran”, a Live Action/Animation Hybrid is the first film in development. Described as somewhere between “Planet of the Apes” and “District 9” this is clearly not just another creature movie. With Gary Kurtz’s involvement it ensures that the film has depth and character with many sociological issues that take it out of the realms of regular Sci Fi.
More recently Bazley has Directed two shorts “Censure” (Featuring Tom Conti) and “Confines” with a combined number of over 60 awards with screenings in Beverly Hills, Cannes, New York and London.
