A collaborative film ‘The Big Top’, made in second year by students Lily Goodwin, Julia Henauer, Cleo Parker and Ruby Black, has also been nominated for the RTS Craft Award. Also nominated for the visual design craft award is 2021 UWE Animation graduate Hazel Boxall’s film ‘A Miraculous Midnight’, while graduate Julia Vaccina is nominated for a craft award in writing for ‘The Lonely Dandelion’. Bristol School of Animation extends a huge congratulations to all of our students and graduates who have been nominated.
Julia Bracegirdle, senior lecturer at UWE Animation, said ‘We are so excited – this is the most nominations Bristol School of Animation has ever had, and this builds on several years of films that won the regional finals, and last year we were national winners. Our students are gaining a great reputation as exceptional practitioners and auteurs. ‘
