Nexus Studios welcomes director Alex Grigg

Nexus Studios announce the signing of Alex Grigg to its global creative studio. 

With an impressive back catalogue of award-winning films, Grigg has made a name for himself through his refined and painterly 2D aesthetic, knowing humour and ability to tap into key cultural moments. Through his education programme, Grigg’s commitment to enriching the industry by arming the next generation of animators with accessible skills, has earnt him great respect amongst his peers.

Grigg joins Nexus Studios' growing roster of Directors based in Australia, including Robertino Zambrano, Haein & Paul and Mighty Nice. Having previously worked with clients such as The New York Times, BBC and Cartoon Network to Coca cola and Mailchimp, Grigg’s ability to tap into the positive cultural conversation guides him to projects with meaning. 

A prime example being his visualisation of the comedian Trevor Noah’s fascination with the weaponization of words, particularly in relation to safe spaces in his thought-provoking short for WeTransfer. He directed two mesmerising episodes of Headspace’s animated stress management series on Netflix, while his multi-award winning short film Phantom Limb was lauded for its poignant depiction of life and love after amputation, filled with metaphor and unspoken meaning.
