Blinkink has announced the signing of two new talents to their roster of directors - Samuel Mason and Isabel Garrett.

Garrett, who is joining Blinkink for global representation, is known for handcrafting tactile stop motion pieces that straddle the line between surreal and subversive. Graduating from the prestigious National Film and Television School in London, she is formerly a resident artist at Alexander McQueen’s Sarabande Foundation, her films combine stunning animation craft with her dark sense of humour.

Commissioned by Sarabande, her upcoming short film Bod is a delicate yet avant-garde film that captures the tactile, vulnerable beauty of the characters designed by sculptor and performance artist Daisy Collingridge. The film is set for online release January 19th with an event celebrating the launch at Sarabande Studios in London. Watch the trailer here.

Meanwhile, Mason is a director and visual artist whose work sits within the realms of hyperrealism, weaving narratives through tangible dreamworlds. His films are extravagant and highly concepted with detailed storytelling that take viewers on journeys that transcend this world. They have innate photo-realistic qualities yet maintain an artful, painterly feel that blends the surreal with the cinematic.

Mason's video for Mac Miller's Colors and Shapes, taken from the late artist’s mixtape Faces, struck gold at the Clios, picked up a Graphite Pencil at D&AD, was nominated at this year's UKMVAs, and was awarded ‘Music Video of the Year’ by Shots last year. As well as music videos, he has also traversed the world of commercials with films for Honda, Spotify, Facebook and New York Times. He joins Blinkink for representation in the UK and Amsterdam.
