Winner Digital Storyteller

Film is for us the telling of a story in the best and brightest way we know how. We are thrilled that the painstakingly crafted films we do are also allowing us to transcend machinima categories and become accepted into animation ones.  We will always be doing machinima, we use game engine platforms to film on of course, yet we are expanding our work to lose a categorical definition which in some cases doesn't matter.  We make cartoon films and we do so with the highest standards.  Top quality filmmaking, editing, a terrific story, compelling characters, wonderful sound and great graphics is what make these films sing!

Stay tuned over the summer for more results, we just had to let you in on our good news!

Thank you to all who watch, comment and share because we are spreading the word of the great work that can be done with terrific talent. It is a new medium we are celebrating and one that fits into the genre of animation, we do it in real-time.
