Festivals and Jobbies



I thought I should update on what I've been doing since I got back from my travels (I should probably post more often).

Firstly, my film Merfolk won best animation at Purbeck Film Festival, which is awesome. Unfortunately I didn't get to go, but it seems like a really cool little festival, and I am very grateful! 

It also got accepted in Interfilm Internation Short Film Festival in Berlin. I'm going there tomorrow to see it and plenty of other awesome looking films, so I will keep you posted. It's in competition too so wish me luck!

Also, for two weeks in October/November I was lucky enough to work as a runner on a short stop-motion animation for Sesame Street! It was a Blink production directed by Sumo Science (who did the Nokia ads 'Gulp' and 'Dot') and was great to get experience on a professional stop-motion shoot, having worked primarily, so far, in CG.  I met some awesome people who had worked on Chicken Run, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Frankenweenie and had a sick time.

At the mo I am working on a couple of different projects that I will share soooooon, applying to festivals and continuing my quest for some kind of employment! I'll stick my showreel here for you to have a looksie.


Any way, I've got to pack for Berlin. Cheerio x
