The animation short film “The Cardboard Head”, keeps touring the world in film festivals and we just had the great news that it was awarded “Film of the Month” by our good friends over at Shooting People! And the judge was no other that Mr. Ed Vaizey, the current UK Minister of Culture! Here’s what he had to say about our film: “Gentle and beautiful animated Portuguese polemic on free expression.”
