“TOTO HOUSE” AT ISH’11.

In March, we finished production of “Toto House“, a corporate film for Japanese sanitary manufacturer TOTO. Directed and designed by Soi’s Uwe Heidschoetter, the film premiered simultaniously on the web and at ISH ‘11 in Frankurt. We rececently received a few photos showing the framework the film was presented in at ISH, and we thought that they looked quite nice. Thank you, Toto.

OH CANADAA

This month “The Gruffalo” won three more awards, all of them in Canada. At the Canadian Film Centre’s Worldwide Shortfilm Festival, the film was given the TELUS Audience Choice Award.  At  the Toronto International Film Festival for Children and Youth “The Gruffalo” was awarded twice: Audiences declared it  Best Short Film and the film also won a Jury Award, again for Best Shortfilm. Thank you very much, Canada!
