Fish Eye Guy

Fish Eye Guy is an animated television series I developed for Nelvana about a boy with fish eyes on each side of his head. His eyes cause him to see in two different directions at once, but prevent him from seeing what is directly in front of him. This leads to some awkward and strange fun.

The character was based on my first film: 'Fish Eye Guy and Why the Trees Died' which I made as part of my philosophy thesis while at New College.

The character was optioned by Nelvana, and I spent a few years working with them to develop the world.

I also made a fish eye guy mask.

The series made its way to Disney,  who wanted to buy it, but the networks could not negotiate a deal, and fish was put on a back burner after Nelvana's option expired.

Fish is looking to get back in the water.
