Here is my stop motion animation graduate film from Sheridan College called "Crema Suprema".

Inspired by the feel of the old rubber hose animations up until the introduction of technicolour, Crema Suprema (2008; 2 m. 50 s.) is a multiple award-winning stop motion animation about two bakers who are competing to win the World's Greatest Cake Contest. As the bakers sabotage each others’ "masterpiece" cakes, it seems as though neither baker has a chance of winning. Only one cake can win.

It has won 3 awards: Best Animated Short at the LaFemme Film Festival (Beverly Hills), Best Animated Short (Jersey Shore Film Festival) and Audience Choice Award for Best Animation (Jersey Shore Film Festival).
It has been nominated for the following: Best of Festival and Best Animated Short at the Miami Short Film Festival; Best Animated Short at the Action on Film Festival (Pasadena); Audience Choice of Best Animation (Sedona Int. Film Festival) and an Animation Semi-finalist (Angelus Student Film Festival). It has been screened internationally, including the Short Film Corner at the Cannes Film Festival.

Thanks for viewing!

Lights, Camera, Action....."Crema Suprema" at the Film Festivals

Here is an update on all the festivals Crema Suprema has been a part of thus far...
1) the TAIS Showcase in Toronto 2) the Action on Film Festival in Pasadena, California (it is nominated for BEST ANIMATION) 3) the Jersey Shore Film Festival in New Jersey (it has won 1st PLACE in the BEST SHORT SHORT Category and the AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD).
It is a semi-finalist in the Angelus Student Film Festival in Hollywood, CA and will be shown at that festival in September.
It is an honour to be a part of such prestigious events and an even greater honour to receive awards from those in the industry who are also enjoying my film as much as I did making it.
Thanks.

Industry Day!

Industry Day at Sheridan College was a fantastic experience! There was a lot of networking and some fantastic opportunities to speak with people from well-known studios like Dreamworks, Blue Sky, House of Cool, LAIKA, Chuck Gammage, Bardel, Studio B, etc... and the list went on and on. There were also people from film festivals that took a copy of my film to show at screenings, like the TAIS screening on June 27th in Toronto.
Thank you to everyone who came up to me and told me how much they enjoyed my film. To me, that is what story-telling is all about. I was glad to put a smile on my audience's faces and get a few good laughs along the way. And when my audience consisted of recruiters from high profile studios (as mentioned above), I could not wipe the smile off my face to know that they were impressed by "little ol' me" from Sheridan College. The film was so much fun to create and I am glad everyone had so much fun watching it as well. Thanks Sheridan College!

Fast Forward...

I am skipping ahead to a few of the final shots from the film "Crema Suprema". Enjoy!
