Here’s the press release.

The first prize of the 2009 Berlinale just went to my short Please Say Something! It’s crazy, I think what honours me most is that something so small, made on a single computer in my tiny apartment is considered in the context of world cinema, it was side by side with live action films. It’s a big step for me but a even bigger one for independent 3d, it’s an award I share with both Svankmajer and John Lasseter.

I don’t have time to write a full post yet (or rather, I don’t quite know what to say!) but I just wanted to share the news. Thank you to everyone who supported this, and of course to David and Bram for all of the sound and music.

Here’s a little interview I did about it before the award, also on german tv tomorrow morning but I don’t say anything remotely cogent.
