Andrew makes no attempt to hide his love for the magic art of animation. He appreciates compelling visuals but never forgets that in this modern age, a strong story always reigns supreme. You can see his work at andrewsallen.com or his latest film The Thomas Beale Cipher.

    I dug curfew, but my favorite was actually Henry when it comes to live action shorts. Regardless, it was a strong year for Oscar nominated shorts.
