Animation Winner 2017

Serving 12 years behind bars for a crime you didn’t commit focuses the mind. All that injustice poisons the soul and there’s nothing left to settle but old scores.

Our 2017 Animation winner goes to Chris Shepherd for Johnno’s Dead, an original take on social systems in the contemporary sphere.
