Callum Scott-Dyson is an award winning filmmaker who currently lives and works in Seoul, South Korea.

He grew up making shorts in his hometown of York in the North of England, before studying film and video at the Manchester School of Art, leaving with first class honours and a rampant hunger to keep making films. After a few years making live action shorts in Manchester that screened at festivals worldwide, he pivoted to music videos and eventually found himself going back to a childhood passion: stop motion animation.

He fell back in love with the DIY nature, the texture and the feel of stop motion, with building miniature sets and characters and bringing his strangest and most abstract ideas to life. He made music videos for all kinds of bands in all different genres, pushing his stop motion ability further and further, mainly working with clay and plasticine, as well as more 2d style with card cut outs, inspired by Terry Gilliam. He made videos for such recognised acts as Dinosaur Jr, Bombay Bicycle Club, Tim Burgess, Peking Duk, Fontaines DC & Pup. During this period he also lived and worked in Vietnam for 3 years, taking all this new culture and experiences and throwing that into the melting pot of his work.

Callum has more recently been taking these stop motion skills and applying them to short films, making a number of mini shorts that you can see on his Vimeo channel, as well as his first complete narrative short, Tunnel Vision.
