Nexus Studios welcomes influential director, Hannah Lau-Walker to their global roster.
Nexus Studios announce the signing of award-winning director and animator Hannah Lau-Walker for commercial representation.
With over 15 years of experience, Lau-Walker is celebrated for her unique ability to infuse charm, humour, and warmth into her work. Her strong art direction, animation expertise, and versatility in tackling diverse subjects have earned her recognition from clients such as TED-Ed and Room to Read. Lau-Walker’s impressive career continues to soar with two high-profile projects launching this month.
Starting as a 2D animator, Lau-Walker’s talent quickly propelled her into directing. She has since led a variety of large-scale projects, including the acclaimed docu-series She Creates Change for global charity Room to Read, which was selected for the London Short Film Festival. Led an all-female team on Boobs a film featuring original ‘boob art’ from illustrators around the world. Her collaboration with TED-Ed brought philosopher Thomas Hofweber’s exploration of AI to life and tackled deforestation for Serious Tissues, who went on to win the top prize at Sky Zero's Footprint Fund. Her original short, Yeah, I’m Good Thanks, also earned the top award at the Depict British Awards.
Lau-Walker is equally passionate about fostering diversity and growth within the animation industry. As a founder of She Drew That, she leads initiatives to mentor, support, and empower women in animation through workshops, residencies, and community-driven projects. Her advocacy for inclusivity and innovation extends to her work as a speaker and participant in prestigious festivals, including Raindance and Annecy.
In addition to her creative achievements, Lau-Walker has also been an Animation and Film Juror for numerous industry panels including BAFTA Cymru, Latin American Design Awards, British Animation Awards, and The Young Animator of the Year UK. “It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Hannah over the past few years, and we’re beyond excited to officially welcome her to the Nexus Studios roster of directing talent.
She’s a true creative force, an imaginative storyteller and a natural leader in collaborative projects. Hannah is shaping the animation industry on and off the screen, and the kind of exceptional talent that we are proud to champion.” adds Chris O’Reilly, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, Nexus Studios.
