Emelia wins Honorable Mention at Nashville International

"Emelia the Five Year Old Goth Girl" won an Honorable Mention (1st Runner up) for Best Animation at Nashville International, which was awesome but also kinda bittersweet since if she had won (Emelia was the only film that got an Honorable Mention so I imagine it was neck and neck between Emelia and the other film) it would have automatically qualified Emelia for an Oscar nomination. So close, but yet so far...

Nashville was a really great fest though with a great and accommodating staff. Free food, free transportation, free films, free hotels, that's hard to beat! And the audiences were some of the most engaged and sophisticated I have seen. I had a great time!
