Molly Mayhew

My name is Molly Mayhew and I am a stop motion animator, director, and puppet maker. In my showcase I have included a showreel, a collection of clips from the films I have made over the past three years, and film stills that capture a glimpse into each one; Unlikely Love, Bedtime Rituals, Come Wander with Me, and my graduation film A Lion’s Rose.

Heavily influenced by the Small Films of my childhood, I seek to use the unique materiality of stop motion animation to bring new life to beloved stories. I am fascinated by horror, fairy tales, and queer film theory, all themes often explored within my work.
