So its that time of year again with a hub of animation film festivals in the UK. I've been involved and attending BAF for over 7 years and this will be the first time I'm not there. Going to be a grand event, go if you can! Big guests include Andy Schmidt from Pixar. I've seen him give a talk at Loughborough University and he's a great speaker. Was luckily enough to go out for dinner afterwards with him and his wife. Super talented and we both agreed that we loved the movie Moonstruck!
Addition to BAF there is Animated Encounters which is held in the capital of stop-motion animation land Bristol. Another great festival headed up by Kieran Argo.
