Financing Forum in Malmö

"Spot and Splodge" was presented as one of the 10 selected projects to a full house at the first financing forum in Malmö, BUFF:FF.
The reactions were fantastic.

While we were a bit nervous, since it was the first PowerPoint presentation we ever made, many in the crowd said later on that the presentation was perfect.
They really loved the characters and some said that for once we not only have good characters to work with, we also have good stories and the capacity to make hi-quality animation.
One can never be tired of hearing things like that :)

We feel now much more confident about the future of this project and we hope to be able to present it in the Cartoon Forum in September.
Until then there is a lot of work to do, and the applications to Cartoon Forum must be sent not later than 23 April.

BUFF:FF was part of the Children's Film Festival BUFF that had it's 24th edition.
We had the honour to open the festival with our latest short film - Aston's Stones - that received great responses and we immediately invited to several festivals.

A book store (Akademibokhandeln) just on the other side of the street of the premiere theatre, hanged a large poster and piled many books with Astons Stone's (and even one book with Spot and Splodge in Snow Storm) at the shop-window, and Lotta spend the rest of the evening signing books for those who saw the opportunity.

During the festival we also received the message that Aston's Stones was selected to the official competition in the animation festival in Annecy.
