Director: Toby Leslie and Hugo Curry

With a background in the production of commercials Toby Leslie and Hugo Currie made their debut, The Cookie Thief in 1999, and secured a Palme d’Or nomination at Cannes, the only British nominee that year.

We incorporated sound design and music composition for the film. We also got through a lot of cookies, recording the crunching sounds, as actors Honor Fraser and Jack Davenport tuck-in.

The film has been seen in over 20 festivals worldwide, including Hong Kong, Paris, Athens, London, Cork, Rome, São Paolo, Miami, Buenos Aires, Brussels & Kerala. International sales have been completed to Canal Plus, Canal International, Multicanal International, Channel 4, six international airlines, as well as a worldwide live webcast from the London Film Festival website in September 1999. The film has also been shown numerous times at the Odeon Leicester Square, and was short-listed for a BAFTA nomination, 2000.
