I just returned from Ottawa where Please Say Something picked up the award for best Narrative film! The Jury were Amid Amidi, Jim Blashfield and Suzan Pitt. It was a really brilliant festival… freezing as hell of course but apart from that it was one of the most inspiring and encouraging events I’ve ever been to, got to meet many fans but also hang out with people I was a big fan of, Christy Karacas, David Silverman, Don Hertzfeldt and many others.

I should mention the film has picked up 3 other awards recently, which I’ve mostly kept on the quiet. It’s all good news of course but I guess I didnt want this blog to become a list of announcements. I really should write other stuff more.

I spent the last couple of weeks hanging out with the extremely talented Jon Klassen. We had worked on the U2 video entirely over the phone and it was great to finally meet in person. Many late nights shooting zombies on PS3… we also started a new collaboration project which should be released in December or next year.

Here are pictures of David Silverman (director of The Simpsons) and me exchanging headpieces.
