Grant Lahood made his name directing a trio of short films featuring hyper-kinetic snails, troublesome mice and squabbling animal activists. After taking shorts The Singing Trophy and Lemming Aid to success at Cannes, Lahood has gone on to direct documentaries and two features - one of which (Kombi Nation) features an all human cast.
To get into Cannes was great, but then I realised that people like Clint Eastwood are on the jury. We shot Lemming Aid cheaply on a cliff-top in Titahi Bay in three days of wind. I just never dreamed we’d be here with it.
– Grant Lahood at the Cannes Film Festival, 1994
