Joseph Reed
I am a writer and animator living in Bristol.
My primary focus is writing scripts for animated projects. I tell stories that satirise the experience of working dead-end jobs and the initial period of adulthood where independence is still fresh, exciting and the future uncertain. However, I also like to incorporate drama to give my stories more than just a comedic angle. I want to tell personal stories about the complications of relationships, coping mechanisms, addiction, death and importance of friendship. I am also a musician and many of my stories revolve around music.
