There I was, stepping off the plane into the welcoming arms of Los Angeles, the largest hub of animation studios in the world. A small fish in a large pond? Absolutely! The sheer amount of top shelf animation that comes out of the city is simply astounding. It does make you realise, though, what an achievement it is to be nominated for or win awards of this magnitude. A real testament to the quality, hard work and love that is poured into the work produced here at Brown Bag Films.
