Twice in one day - that's never as good as it sounds

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 | By peter_allen | Views [456]

After a dream run I finally got festival rejections yesterday. 2 at once in fact, from Edinburgh and Toronto. I'm not too disappointed since they are both general film festivals and not animation festivals, as a result there's always a lot more competition.... Read more >
