About

I am Rory Bresnihan, a writer and director with a career spanning animation and live-action. I started my career with The Chameleon and trained at Aardman Animations, where I contributed to Chicken Run, Corpse Bride, and Wallace & Gromit. Since then I have written and directed award-winning shorts such as Guy’s Dog, Ape, The Butterfly Collector, God’s Early Work, The Martyr’s Crown, and The Man Inside, while continuing to develop animated and live-action projects in Ireland.

Beyond writing and directing, I work as a videographer and editor, shooting, color-grading, compositing and applying visual effects to music videos, corporate promos and commercials for clients including Nissan, Yahoo, Kellogg’s, Berocca, Champion Sports, Johnson Mooney & O’Brien, Cuicas Brava, Uniflu, and a National Lottery campaign.
