Will Becher

Will Becher is a Bristol-based Director and Creative. He began his career in the late nineties when he landed a summer work placement on Chicken Run – building ‘clay wings’ in the model making department.

During his degree in Animation in Edinburgh he kept in contact, and on graduation was invited by Nick Park to join the animation team on Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, becoming one of Aardman’s youngest ever feature film animators. The film went on to win an Academy Award® and BAFTA®.
