14 February 2016


Winner Acceptance Speech by Nina Gantz in the British Short Animation category 

NINA GANTZ: Wow.  Okay.  It was already so good to be nominated.  I was having a really good time, and it was such an honour to be nominated with Simon - he's my best friend. Also with Richard Williams, who has actually taught me how to animate, with his animation survival kit. So thank you so much, Richard, as well.  What an honour to be nominated with you. Of course we have to thank so many people for this short film. I think a year ago we were thinking about like how this character was going to be, you know, how we could empathise with this character, who actually eats the people he loves.  But it kind of worked, so that's really good. I want to thank the team a lot.  The NFTS team, the National Film and Television School and my family and my friends and Adam Watts who really helped us with the animation.  Thank you so much.
