We spent five fascinating days at the Sundance Film Festival, and two days after we returned home we were gobsmacked to find that we had won the award for Best Animated Short.
The Flying Sailor didn’t play in the animation program - nstead we were screened with a group of exceptionally strong live action shorts. It was such a pleasure to spend time with our fellow filmmakers - Andrew Fitzgerald (The Family Circus), Melena Valdez (Weapons and Their Names), fellow Canadian Nicole Bazuin (Thriving: A Dissociated Reverie), Samm Hodges (Tender) and the amazing Vincent Fontano (Set Lam).
Rounding out the festival fun was the presence of our new pal Tom C. Brown, creator of the wonderful animated film “Christopher at Sea.”
