VIEWING "codswallop" POSTS

So I've always had this innate desire to have my own cartoon strip. I've started and rarely finished a whole raft of ideas. However this one I like. Ok it's not strictly a strip cartoon but it fits the bill in my eyes (which have never been right). So the idea was to sketch (not being too precious) any old thing which popped into my head then stick it in the post and send it to my son. He likes getting post! There's also something strangely satisfying about the extra marks you get on the cards as it goes through the sorting office, and because I use non permanent ink there are smudges and all sorts when it arrives back.

Just finished a short film 'Codswallop' based on the postcards I've been doing. Hopefully it will be showing at a festival near you soon.
‘Codswallop’ is a subconscious drift through despair, frustration, joy and redemption.
Based on a series of stream of consciousness postcards sent by the filmmaker to their son, ‘Codswallop’ features a collection of surreal characters at crucial moments in their briefly glimpsed stories.
Beware of hats!

We're off for a weekend in Amsterdam. No, not that sort of weekend. We're off to the Klik! Animation Festival (12-14 September 08) because the lovely people running the festival have selected our film Codswallop for their Open Competition. It's not our first film to get into an international film festival (our films are better travelled than we are), but it is the first international one we're attending so we're really looking forward to it.

Amsterdam... where we went on the weekend of the 13-14th September to visit the lovely people at the Klik! Animation Festival. Our short film Codswallop was runner up in the Open Competition which was great. We also met Oscar winning animator Suzie Templeton and her lovely chap Rosto who were very complimentary about our film too. Klik! have this great thing where they hand out clickers, so at the end of a screening instead of just clapping, there's also lots of clicking (or Klik-ing).

Our short film Codwallop has been selected for another film festival... this time the Anchorage International Film Festival in Alaska, who were good enough to show our film The M Man a few years back. That makes eight festivals so far. Fingers crossed for more.
