HIGH FALLS FILM FESTIVAL A GREAT SUCCESS

This year's High Falls Film Festival went extremely well. We at
Animatus took part in several events, including the festival's
animation workshop screenings, a screening of the French noir/animation
feature Renaissance, and a retrospective for independent filmmaker
Emily Hubley. Emily was a pleasure to have at the festival, and we had
positive feedback from attendees all during the festival.
