Yup, you may say what's going on with us having two achievements one after another, but you simply didn't see us this summer, when we were silently working on these animation projects. That's just fruits of our hard work. That's just time of harvest.
Yesterday I received email from Anna, Coordinator of EdiPlay Film Festival, with the remarkable news that our animation film "A Wooden Cat's Secret" has been awarded in category "The Best Animation Film". The certificate and the Laurel were enclosed. OMG! I'm so happy, friends. Since the very time when we finished our work on this film we started receiving kind words from those who have seen the cartoon, but this award means professional recognition and warms our hearts.
Yes, we received the news yesterday. This event has its own story. The point is that I've submitted our animation film "Elixir of Life" for the festival right on my birthday. It was a kind of my birthday present with such an unexpected and thrilling continuation.
The festival will be held in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia, what is also a special place for me and my wife Ira. We've had a great time once staying in this town of artists for two months. Bali had a special international atmosphere at that time. I understand that many things changed since then, but anyway just a thought that our film will be watched there warms my heart.
Yesterday we received a piece of exciting news from EdiPlay International Film Festival about selecting our animation short film “A Wooden Cat’s Secret”. We hope it’s the first serious step towards our audience. And I’m so glad that all dialogues in this film were conveyed through visual images – not a word is said there, the only language is Love…
In spite of the fact that this animation film was created
recently, this summer, this story began almost 12 years ago. The screenplay was
rewritten 3-4 times. Some producers expressed their interest to this work, but
something stopped them from taking it into production. Only now when we get
full control over the whole creative process, I can say how grateful I am for
preventing those producers from buying rights for this screenplay =) Yup, whatever
God does, He does for our good – I believe in this simple truth.
