Special Jury Recognition for Visceral StorytellingSXSW (South by Southwest)
Awarded to the animated short film "Something I the Garden". This is what the jury said: “It is so important to keep your brain open to play, and we commend this film’s playful spirit combined with its beautiful animation, reminiscent of a graphic novel. It felt at the perfect cross section of horror and ASMR, using impeccable pacing and sound design to take us on a visceral journey that thrilled, scared and delighted us. A brilliant use of the animated short form medium!”
