George Sawyer

DIRECTOR | WRITER

Meet George.

I’m an experienced writer and director with a strong focus on animation and comedy. I’ve directed and developed a wide range of content, bringing creative projects to life for broadcast and social media.

With expertise in developing and directing both animated series and live-action comedy, I’ve worked on numerous projects in collaborative environments, blending humour, interactivity, and strong visual storytelling.

I received a BAFTA writing nomination for my work on Horrible Histories and a BAFTA Scotland award as Series Director on The Brilliant World of Tom Gates for Sky Kids.
