Biography
Il rencontre son producteur et ami Nick Goldsmith durant ses études d'art, et crée avec lui en 1999 la société de production Hammer and Tongs dans le but de réaliser des clips originaux pour MTV et des films publicitaires. Se détachant du lot grâce à leur humour et leur inventivité, ils tournent des clips avant-gardistes comme Right here, right now pour Fat Boy Slim ou encore Coffee and TV pour Blur. En 2005, Garth Jennings décide de réaliser son premier film cinématographique H2G2 : le Guide du voyageur galactique, adapté de la saga humoristique de Douglas Adams. Après cette première expérience sur le grand écran, Garth Jennings sortira en 2007 son deuxième long métrage Le Fils de Rambow (Son of Rambow). Le fils de Rambow a été nommé aux Orange British Academy Film Awards en 2009 pour la première œuvre d'un réalisateur, producteur ou scénariste britannique.Best films

While raiding Berk's Squab Farm, Mr. Fox and his wife Felicity trigger a fox trap and become caged. Felicity reveals to Fox that she is pregnant and pleads with him to find a safer job if they escape. Two years later, the Foxes and their sullen son Ash are living in a hole. Fox, now a newspaper columnist, moves the family into a better home in the base of a tree, ignoring the warnings of his lawyer Badger about how dangerous the area is for foxes. The tree is located very close to facilities run by three farmers: Walter Boggis, Nathaniel Bunce, and Franklin Bean. Soon after the Foxes move in, Felicity's nephew Kristofferson Silverfox comes to live with them, as his father has fallen ill with double pneumonia. Ash finds this situation intolerable; his soft-spoken cousin is apparently superior to him at almost everything, and everyone, including Fox, is charmed by Kristofferson at Ash's expense. Longing for his days as a thief, Fox and his friend Kylie Opossum steal produce and poultry from the three farms.

His younger colleagues show him no respect, he has a strained relationship with his stepfather, Phillip (Bill Nighy), and a tense one with his housemate Pete (Peter Serafinowicz) because of Ed (Nick Frost), Shaun's other housemate and vulgar, unemployed best friend. Furthermore, Shaun's girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) dislikes their social life as they spend every date at the Winchester, Shaun and Ed's favourite pub. Because Shaun always brings Ed, Liz is always forced to bring her flatmates, David (Dylan Moran) and Dianne (Lucy Davis). After a bad day at work, Shaun forgets to book a table at a nice restaurant, and after suggesting the Winchester again Liz breaks up with him. Shaun drowns his sorrows with Ed at the Winchester. While celebrating at home, an enraged Pete — suffering from a bite wound caused by "some crackheads" — confronts Shaun on his flaws, telling him to sort his life out.
