When I was on the festival circuit for my previous film, “The Last Resort”, there was a joke I’d written into the film that was so stupid and funny but I absolutely needed it included. While attending a screening of it at a festival, we got to that joke in the film and it made the audience laugh, which was great to know it was funny to other people than myself- but my absolute favourite reaction was that the man sitting directly in front of me literally slapped his knee in laughter. I had a verified knee-slapper of a joke in my film and I couldn’t be happier about that! If I should be more professional about a successful moment, I’d say it was that after having attended the prestigious Annecy International Animated Film Festival, this year I found myself presenting my own film with my team, as well as being on an actual panel talking about it to industry professionals. That was amazing and an honour!
