New Milan film commission complete

My recent film commission 'Dear Foreigner' from Milan's Letters Festival is now complete and will be premiered at the festival in Milan on 10th October. An adaptation of a real letter a woman wrote to her son she gave up at birth, it features the music of caro snatch and Steph Angel, and is beautifully read by Cerrie Burnell. The film is a mixed media animated piece featuring found footage composited with both digital and hand drawn animation.Even the rough cuts have brought many a tear to the eye and lump in the throat so watch out for the full version on the film festival circuit soon.
