Oscar® nomination for Smith & Foulkes Feb 2009

We’re thrilled and proud that Smith & Foulkes’ internationally-acclaimed animated short, ‘This Way Up’, has been nominated for an Oscar® for best animated short at the 81st annual Academy Awards.

Paved with awards, the film’s road to the Oscars® has been far less bumpy than the one travelled by the hapless pair it features. Praise for the film has spanned the globe, with wins at festivals from the Palm Springs International Film Festival of Shorts to the London Film Festival via Siggraph Asia, and all stops along the way.  This makes us all very happy.
