Chris Bowden Producer

A hands-on creative producer who enjoys the challenge of getting the very best from a project’s creative aspirations in balance with the available assets and budget. Part of the Mackinnon & Saunders team since 2008, Chris began his career producing training and promotional films for clients including British Aerospace and DuPont. His animation career began some twenty years ago at Cosgrove Hall Films and he has since produced over 500 episodes of children’s animation in stop motion, CG and 2D Digital. Whilst Chris is heavily involved in the planning, budgeting and managing of productions he also works as a script editor and writer.
