Before we noticed, a year has already gone by since we started our animated adventure;
and after about 50.400 frames, 4.200 seconds, a few sleepless nights and some lost weekends we’re still going!
Our new Short Film, “The Giant” is finally ready to hit the world! With a live score from the Galicia Film Orquestra, this U.K. / Portugal / Spain / Brazil co-production will be hitting the film festivals circuit shortly, but while you wait you can check out the trailer now!
“The Tortoise” is just starting it’s festival tour and will be exhibited in the Animac Festival, from the 1st to the 4th of March. We’ll keep updating you on new screenings, watch our blog and website for more details!
Our lovely children’s series Tiny Trips will also get to do a bit of traveling and will be in the official competition on the 11th Anifest Animation Festival, in the Czech Republic – If you happen to be nearby, don’t miss it!
Our director Pedro Lino will have a double bill at the Monstra Animation Film Festival in Lisbon, with his films “The First King” and “The Cardboard Head” both in the International Competition;
Good luck, Pedro!
And here’s our exclusive Christmas Card – Enjoy!!
