Spoilt for Choice

Although it's yet to embark on its festival rounds, my latest film Speed has managed to snag itself a place among the many fantastic recent UK-produced animated shorts in contention for the British Animation Awards! Ahead of the main event which takes place March 12th at BFI Southbank, the Public Choice screenings (comprised of three programmes, with Speed playing in the second) will be taking place at a variety of venues and universities across the UK over the next couple of months. Seeing what it's up against I'm honestly not holding out hope it'll get the popular vote, but I'm very happy to be tagging along and fingers crossed this is a good omen for how it does down the line.
The screening dates/venues for January are as follows:

• January 15th, 3pm - University of Gloucestershire, Cheltenham
• January 20th - University for the Creative Arts, Farnham
• January 22nd - Falmouth University
• January 23rd, 6pm - UWE/Hen and Chicken, Bristol
• January 27th, 5:30pm - University of South Wales, Cardiff
• January 28th, 2pm - Staffordshire University, Stoke-On-Trent
• January 28th, 7pm - University of Plymouth
• January 29th, 4pm - Edge Hill University, Ormskirk

If none of the above are close enough to you be sure to check back in February for the next batch!

Also this month it'll get a little preview outing over in Spain as part of Letto Studio's Micro Festival in Madrid. If you're in the area be sure to check out the festival's Micro Comedia 1 programme which takes place 6pm January 25th and 1pm January 26th at the Sala Equis.
