Stuart Croft

Stuart Croft (1970 – 2015) was a London-based artist / filmmaker. He graduated from Wimbledon School of Art in 1994 and went on to gain an MA from Chelsea College of Art and Design in 1998.

The films have been shown in over 25 countries to date.

Croft also taught fine art and film and became a highly-respected educator.
