Marco Marenghi Animation Director
Marco was an accomplished artist from an early age. When a forced redundancy from a career in electronics in 1995 gave him the opportunity to re-evaluate his life, Marco chased his true dream to become a world-class animator. His story is one of inspiration and motivation, and was even the subject of a 2003 BBC documentary called simply "The Marco Marenghi Story". Marco has since worked as a team leader at several of the world's highest profile companies and still strives to create seamless and inspiring animation. See Marco’s full IMDb profile.
