Absolutely over the moon to learn that 'DUCKS' will be screening, in competition, at the 38th Foyle Film Festival!

Mind-bogglingly, this is the second Academy Award qualifying and seventh BAFTA qualifying festival has made it into, to date 🤯

A still scene from my 3D/CGI animated short film 'DUCKS'. It shows two ducks swimming on a lake. There is a white 'Official Selection Foyle Film Festival 2025' laurel suspended above them and reflecting in the water's surface.
