2012 St. Louis International Film Festival

Scrap Metal has been accepted into the narrative shorts category of the 21st annual St. Louis International Film Festival (SLIFF).

The festival organisers seem to have a pretty cool arsenal of firearms, so make sure you all check out this festival or your car could be next!

 

They've started an indiegogo campaign if you can't go but would still like to support.

I can't find information on the website about the time and place, but I am assuming that TIFVA is being held on October 12-14, 2012

Toronto International Student Animation Festival 2011

Just found out that Scrap Metal was featured in the 5th Annual Toronto International Student Animation Festival

 

 

 

 

Sheridan must have submitted my film, because I did not and I only found out now when I googled by film name. Scrap Metal showed in the stop-motion category of the post-secondary section on Friday, November 4th 2011. It was shown at the NFB in Toronto too, which is really awesome! Wish I knew about it when it showed...
