The Debutante, Elizabeth Hobbs

Recent good fortune

At the British Animation Awards ceremony on 7 March, Elizabeth Hobbs’ The Debutante won the award for Best Short Film. What a thrill!

Samantha Moore’s Visible Mending, was also nominated for the Audience Award. (I exec produced this short, along with Sue Gainsborough from MediaActive Projects, working with producer Tilley Bancroft.) Visible Mending was also nominated for the BAFTA British Short Animation category, has been featured on the New York Times Op-Docs, and has just received a Vimeo Staff Pick.

Big congratulations to the teams who worked on realising these BFI backed films.
