It was screened and nominated for 3 Awards at the UK’s leading Film and Animation Festival, Encounters. This timed perfectly with me starting my animation degree in Bristol, where the festival is held. After the screening, I was invited to attend a Q and A, answering questions from members of the audience. I was honoured to be sitting next to so many skilful and talented filmmakers, and a
