How Stuart Forrest built the award-winning Triggerfish
Inspiration Is Nothing Without Action/Recorded 2017
A close reading, kept within reach.
Stuart Forrest takes film & animation as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in South Africa in 2017, the conversation is grounded in Stuart's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Triggerfish CEO talks Revolting Rhymes, endurance in the animation industry and inspiring empathy in young people.
