His credits include Disney’s “Pocahontas”, “Hercules”, “Tarzan” and a Lead Animator and Sequence Director on celebrated Warner Bros. Film “The Iron Giant” Bazley started his career on the ground breaking “Who Framed Roger Rabbit”. He also storyboards on Features and Series. A versatile Director Bazley has a background in CGI as well as Traditional 2D.

Through Argosy Film Group Bazley Directed “Lost Treasure Hunt”, an animated half-hour pilot for a proposed TV Series. “Lost Treasure Hunt”. In 2015 Bazley received two Emmy nominations for his work on the show.

More recently Bazley has been developing Feature films and is attached to a number as Director. In 2011 Bazley teamed up with Gary Kurtz (Prod. “Star Wars”, “Dark Crystal”) to set up the film production company GBK Hybrid based in London and Los Angeles. GBK Hybrid’s first short “Centurion Resurrection” filmed in Bath has played at numerous Film Festivals and won numerous awards.
“The Chimeran”, a Live Action/Animation Hybrid is the first film in development. Described as somewhere between “Planet of the Apes” and “District 9” this is clearly not just another creature movie. With Gary Kurtz’s involvement it ensures that the film has depth and character with many sociological issues that take it out of the realms of regular Sci Fi. It is grounded in real scientific theory, is thought-provoking, and relevant to the human condition.

Director Statement

The concept for "Censure" was born out of lockdown, a way to make a film with all the restrictions in place. Yet as we came out of lockdown and restrictions were lifted I realised we still had a film well worth making. Sometimes the most creative ideas come out of restrictions or limitations. The script was crafted by long term collaborator, Screenwriter Neil Bason.

Despite a limited budget I still managed to get top talent including the legendary and Oscar Nominated Tom Conti. I am also delighted to introduce you to newcomer Connor William (AKA Connor Wulfric) whose talents I discovered in an audition he did for a Feature Film I am to Direct later this year.

In addition I was lucky enough to get the musical talents of Adrian Chivers founder of NIYE (Noise in Your Eye) a creative music ensemble including Nick Mason of Pink Floyd. To add to the mix we had a young enthusiastic crew on set and top DOP John E Fry whose keen eye was invaluable on this shoot.

I am therefore delighted to present to you our film Censure!
