Charlie & Yip Wins Best Trailer at 1st Fest

I am pleased to announce that my short film "Charlie and Yip" has won another award - Best Trailer at 1st Festival. 

Recently the short won the "Scream Award" at the Berlin Flash Film Festival, Best Animation at the Flicks Film Festival in London, Best Trailer at the Changing Face International's Film Festival (CFIFF) in Australia, "Best Trailer" at the Lisbon Monthly Film Festival, Best Trailer at the Halicarnassus Film Festival, and Best Film at the Film One Film Fest in July.

Charlie and Yip

Charlie and Yip is a short film about a kid who takes his pet to school for Show and Tell, which turns out not to be a good plan. It's a really a teaser for my indie feature film project "My Haunted House", which is still in development.

The animation for Charlie and Yip was made by Tumblehead Studios in Denmark.  Voice talent was provided by Lizzie Waterworth Santo.

Financial support came from the BFI and the West Danish Film Fund. Charlie and Yip has been selected for multiple film festivals, and won Best Animation at the British Animation Film Festival.

Festival Success
In addition to winning Best Trailer at the Halicarnassus Film Festival, "Charlie & Yip" won Best Animation at the British Animation Film Festival, and recently won Best Animation at the Film One Fest, and Best Trailer at the Halicarnassus Film Festival.
