Polymath is a boutique film production and digital arts company that creates high quality cinematic content for all platforms. We strive to create synergy between traditional techniques and cutting edge technologies and specialise in the use of both live-action and digital visual effects.
Polymath was established in 2007 by Amy Nicholson and Tom Walsh as a way to develop and expand the scope of presenting and creating live music, art and film. They used existing contacts and social networks to establish links and collaborate with a whole host of practitioners from performance artists to film-makers and animators.
Their first major project was the Polymath Live Extravaganza, which was presented at the Arts Theatre in Nottingham in May 2008 and combined experimental music, film, dance, performance, animation, craft and visual art into one celebratory evening of live creativity.
Since then, Polymath has continued to develop and seek opportunities to work with a range of artists to produce highly original artworks with an emphasis on creating synergy between traditional techniques and cutting edge technology.
