History Of Pets Shortfilm. 2013 Production company: NIAF.

world premiere of He & Sea at Anima Festival in Brussels!

Add 4 years, an amazing co-director and animator (Pieter Vanluffelen), a passionate producer (S.O.I.L.), groundbreaking software developed solely for this film (Ultra Pictura), fantastic compositing (Fabrique Fantastique), a beautiful soundtrack (Senstudio), a spectacular crew of very talented people, buckets of blood, sweat and tears, and the result is He & Sea. This poetic creational epic about perseverance and passion, which is crafted with the same traits, premiered at the prestigious Brussels ANIMA Festival on Monday 8 February at 7.30pm at Studio 4 in the Flagey building. A second screening will take place on Thursday 11 February At 5.30pm at Studio 5. Hope to see you there! “an abstract gem…” Kortfilm.be https://www.dropbox.com/s/a9p7ktko8knqifh/ANIMA02small.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/fy4w7ellitsidjj/ANIMA01small.jpg?dl=0
