Kelly Baigent: You Can't Hold Back the Tide
Kelly Baigent has spent more than three decades working across animation and live-action filmmaking, with a career that has taken him from Walt Disney and Anastasia to Animal Logic, The Lego Batman Movie and the Peter Rabbit films.
In this episode, Kelly talks about the people who shaped him, learning to deal with criticism, adapting as the industry changes, and what happened when he found himself directing on a live-action film set for the first time.
We also talk about collaboration, Tales from Outer Suburbia, the value of the creative process itself, and the creative passion Kelly has quietly maintained outside his professional work.
If you love animation, filmmaking, or simply hearing about the life behind the creative process, this is an in-depth conversation about more than 30 years spent making things — and what keeps a creative person making them.
