We were very surprised and honored our animated short won the RTBF – La Trois Award at Anima 2019 this past weekend. Thanks to the festival and everyone who helped and supported us in creating this film!
“A superb project that addresses the problem of bullying among young people. Very nice drawings, a careful realization and a surprising fall make this project a great success. A movie to show to young and old alike.”
Next time you can catch our film will be next Saturday, at Athens Animfest.
While it may look simple, it proved quite difficult to paint compositions with snow. And though the result may look cold, this particular background was painted while it was 37°C outside.
🎞 Festival news! ‘From The Snow-Covered Hill’ will make it’s US debut at Snake Alley Festival of Film this month. It will screen on June 23. Come check it out if you’re in Snake Alley!
