Crossed the Border

Good news!

Our short has officially made it into another country. Canada. We are so proud, ay.

It will showcase at the Giggleshorts, International Comedy Short Film Festival in Toronto along with the live action short, Brevin', that I co-wrote with the awesome Ward Porrill and directed by the incredible Forrest Allison. What fun.

We wish we could be there but the festival falls on Thanksgiving weekend and we will be doing our midwest tour at that time. We will be traveling to such great states as Missouri, Illinois and Kentucky to see friends and family.

It's been awhile

Well, now it's the waiting game. Although, I forgot to post about the SoCal Independent Film Fest. That was a fun time and we have pics to post too. Two of our greatest fans and closest friends, Jana Barber and Ward Porrill came out to support. We were very grateful.

Not sure what's next but we will keep ya posted.

Chicago International Reel Shorts Festival

Can you believe it? We are screening in Chicago.
Unfortunately, we can't be there but we are telling all our pals to check it out.

The Brigand Short Film Festival http://bsff.indie-fest.com/ was looking for one more film in their festival. We made it to the top 20 and got so many wonderful comments.

This is a very clever short film! I like the animation, and the “productive” ideas that Shelley has come up with!

Loved this! The design is so vivid and the humor comes from a too-long pause or a raised eyebrow. Great voiceover too!

Fingers Crossed

We are mentioned on Animazpot's website's gallery of shorts. It is an awesome short film festival that only features animation! They screen the films in November at the beautiful Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. Don't know if ours will be screened yet but we are in the running. Here is a link to that website http://www.animazspot.com/animazspot/Gallery.html

Screening Date for SoCal Film Fest

Our screening date is set for September 18th at 5:50 p.m. We are in a block of animated shorts which is really great. We wanted to see more of the ones that were screened at LA Shorts Fest but since they were on a few different days and times, we couldn't see them all.
There are only 15 animated shorts being shown so we are honored to be in the mix.
