Animated short film

Jose Javier MARTINEZ [USA]

Reason for Award

This is a technically simple work that was clearly made by a student of one of the United State’s premiere film schools, the Film and Television Department of UCLA. The artist does not try to shock the viewer with his technique but instead, skillfully presents a well-crafted story that keeps the viewers interest to the end. The story is well composed, the cuts are well timed and the characters are expertly developed. We can expect great works from Jose in the future.
