Corin Hardy

Corin Hardy is an award-winning filmmaker, illustrator, sculptor and writer, whose visual style mixes the macabre, the beautiful and the epic to visually dazzling results. Corin grew up in a world steeped in creatures & creativity, beginning his early career aged 12 as a special FX 'monster-maker' in his parents' bike shed. Inspired by a hungry diet of Ray Harryhausen monster movies and 70's & 80's horror cinema, he made a number of Super-8 films with school-friends who regularly stood in for his cast of zombies, werewolves, and slasher victims and created elaborate sets to make plasticine stop-motion epics in his bedroom. Throughout his teenage years, Corin gained film experience in sculpting, FX, wardrobe & art departments on a variety of film, TV & theatre productions ranging from a Royal National Ballet production of 'Dracula' to Columbia Pictures 'First Knight'. Corin studied theatre design at Wimbledon School of Art before hand-crafting his award-winning stop-motion short film
