TropFest! ‘Tis truly excellent to have Australian short film goodness back in one’s life. I post the winners every year, so I don’t want to repeat myself too much, but…

I just wrote up an, unfortunately, negative review of Luke Doolan’s Oscar-nominated Miracle Fish, which gave me a chance to remark on the fantastic Blue-Tongue Film collective. NyTimes have gotten…

In a rare turn of events, a cursory web search has revealed that at least one of the Oscar live-action short films is online, Luke Doolan’s Miracle Fish. The animated…

Doug Purver out of NYC runs a one-man production outfit called RoadNorth. This film was shot for Psst!3, but evolved into this 3 min gem about a boy fishing in…

Just because I write and edit for this site doesn’t mean I know all about what goes on. Like just the other day I went to our Archive page and saw…

Live Music is a short animation that has been buzzed about in creative and traditional media circles for several months now based primarily on its unique production history. Mass Animation, a…
