Tirrick

Tirrick – An animated feature film in early development by Selina Wagner.

I’ve been working with a fantastic team including Neil Jack and Martha MacDiarmid to write my first animated feature film, supported by Screen Scotland.

The project has recieved positive feedback so far:

In 2023 Selina Wagner  won a place on the Sail Britain artist residency to develop the themes of the film further, receiving further funding support through the Visual Artist and Craft Maker Awards.

In March 2024, the project was awarded a place on the Glasgow Film Festival ANIMATIC scheme and we won the live pitch prize.

We are a team who have worked together for almost 20 years in our own fields of expertise within animation. Now, we wish to embark on this project together with the goal of creating an animated feature film that tells a hopeful fantasy: a relatable coming-of-age story with a strong and unusual mystery at its core that explores the consequences of prejudices (both perceived and actual) and the importance of inclusivity and empathy.

Our goal is to create an animated feature film that appeals to a wide audience. If we can be bold, we want to be the first female writer/director led team to create an animated feature film in Scotland.
