MUG - 6-Time Award Winning Animated Short Film

I'm proud to finally present MUG, the short film my team spent a full year working on. We created it for and presented it at ACU's 20th FilmFest. Thanks to the tremendous efforts of my team, we earned FilmFest's first ever Best Animated Film award.
The film also later earned Best Animated Film and Best Student Film at the Check The Gate Film festival!
Shortly after we won three more awards from Hidden Universes: IFF Melbourne (Best Animation, Best Director Animation, and Best Student Film).
We are grateful to know that MUG has been so well-loved!

My role in the film was co-director, modeling and materials team lead, set designer, editing team lead, and various other roles as needed.

Seeing MUG on screen and hearing the audience's reaction made it all worth it. I was one of our main editors, and after watching a film 20-30 times while editing, you start to lose your sense of what is good. Watching it in the Paramount let me see it with new eyes, and actually find joy in what we made again.
