Bradford Webster

Bradford Webster, also known as Lenzs Radius, was the Writer, Creator, and Director of Hippie Jones. In 2020, he conceived the project as a response to a personal struggle. Together with his sister Aneika Webster, they birthed a character and concept inspired by Hippie Culture. It evolved into a delightful blend of humour and poignant exploration, showcasing a self-destructive yet egotistical hippie. Tragically, Hippie Jones marked Bradford's final endeavour, and he passed away in September 2023. Hippie Jones held deep significance for Bradford, and he dedicated extensive time, alongside collaborators within and beyond Massey University, to bring his vision to life. In tribute to Bradford, his family is honoured to share the work he and his team completed on Hippie Jones.

Jones, the unconventional hippie, has grown weary of idle peace-seeking. To him, the true path to love involves a spirited fight, albeit often fraught with missteps. His unbridled anger and frustration frequently derail his well-intentioned plans, often yielding unintended consequences. In this animated tale, Jones devises a daring plot against the government, but his peace-loving friends are too preoccupied with mediation to aid him, leaving him to embark on the mission solo. "Hippie Jones" is a quirky yet darkly comedic narrative that, despite its backdrop, embraces a lighthearted tone.
