Spiffy SBIFF-y

After a year of hard work and determination, we at Moonbot studios are proud to announce the world premiere of The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival! This short film has been officially placed on animated shorts competition and we are excited to see our film and the other films being premiered as well.

Brandon Oldenburg, co-director of the short, has said, “We could not be more excited to premier our short on the west coast. This short exemplifies who we are as visual storytellers from the narrative to the look. The SBIFF audience will be populated by a great deal of our industry friends. We cannot wait to introduce them to our new pal, Morris Lessmore.”

William Joyce, also co-director, also expressed his feelings about the SBIFF premiere in a slightly more unique way, “Relieved, excited, thankful, joyous, anxious, happy, satisfied, and hungry!”

This will be the 26^th edition of the SBIFF and it is best known for its knack in predicting many of the Academy Award winners. The 2011 festival will host many entertaining films from all different genres and styles. The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore will be an exciting addition to the festivals showcase amongst the many films and shorts provided from all across the globe. The festival is going on January 28^th to February 6^th. More information can be found at sbiff.org for the list of films and schedule.
