AfroAnimation - First Runner-Up!

Very happy to have received first runner-up at the 2026 AfroAnimation Forum in Los Angeles. Our little film has had a great run on the festival circuit, receiving this award, the Rolls-Royce Discovery award at the Goethe Institut Science Film Festival (the largest of it’s kind in the world) and first runner-up at the Fak’ugesi Festival. It’s been seen in 11 different countries, dubbed into 4 languages and I hope inspired some kids to see science and scientists differently.

Huge congratulations to our director and assistant director, Ross Lelliott and Adrean Sigogo, the crew at The Hidden Hand Studios and everyone else involved in making it the success it has been.
