New Felix Massie website

Felix Massie has a new website:  www.balancedthere.com - and there you can see a clip of 'Francis Cooper' and see how the film has been doing at various festivals around the world.

'The Surprise Demise of Francis Cooper's Mother' - A short film by Felix Massie - Oct 08

On the 17th October, Sarah Jex (Development Producer at Aardman Animations) contacted me to let me know that a short animated film (for Digital Shorts 07/08) that I'd script edited earlier in the year, was finally ready to see.

At the end of 2007 and start of 2008, I spent quite a bit of time working with Felix Massie on the script for his 2D/3D animated short, 'Francis Cooper' - after it was chosen for funding and production by South West Screen and Aardman Animations.

It's a dark little tale about fate and death, and about finally accepting responsibility for your actions - and the final film (which Sarah kindly sent me a link to) perfectly matched the ambition of the original script and Felix's unshifting dedication to it.

I found out a few days later from Felix that the film will get its World Premiere at the Encounters Short Film Festival in Bristol on the 21st Nov 2008 - and with a bit of luck I will be in the audience to see it.
