After the Canadian premiere of our first animated film, Henlightenment in August, 2019 at the Animaze Montreal International Film Festival, we sold our film to the fine folks at Indiecan Entertainment.
Henlightenment is now available for viewing on Amazon Prime, iTunes, and Vimeo!
If you happen to enjoy the show we hope you will leave a review to help others decide whether it's something they might like too.
In June, 2019, we screened Henlightenment at the New York Independent Film Festival.

In March, we were honoured to win the Harvey Award for Best Children's Film at the Idyllwild International Film Festival in California. The festival is held in a gorgeous spot in the mountains that makes you think of westerns like Bonanza and Ponderosa, probably because they were shot nearby!
