Three new projects in the making! First off, an introduction sequence for the documentary "I Wanna Be Boss", directed by Marije Meerman & produced by Submarine, more about it soon. An old-fashioned Monty Python style animation viral is also in the making, as well as another (slow-coming) personal project, a handdrawn short film, way back to basic with pencil and paper.
Hip Hooray, the Dutch feature that I worked on (the animation sequences), "How Do I Survive Myself?" received Golden Film Award on July 10 to commemorate its achieving of 100.000 visitors, after just two weeks in Dutch cinemas.
