Even though it's the end of the year, there are more screenings to come in 2026 and then once it has run its course, I will finally release the film online and (eventually) shut up about it!

DUCKS is an entirely self-initiated, self-funded film & my first time navigating the wild waters of the festival circuit. I've attended as many festivals as work, family commitments & my limited budget would allow, met some incredible people, laughed until I hurt & generally had a fantastic time.

Alongside this, I have also received some wonderful feedback. I had no clue if ANYONE would programme DUCKS into their line-up, so to not only get selected but also win awards (especially those voted by kids!) has been truly astonishing.

As 2025 draws to a close, I wanted to say how incredibly grateful I am that 'DUCKS' has had the chance to be screened all over the globe. From it's world premiere at @pictoplasma.bsky.social in May, it has gone on to have a further 21 official selections, 1 honourable mention & even won 3 awards!

Had an AMAZING time at Fredrikstad Animation Festival last week. A really superb festival and a wonderful group of people, both in and around it. Honoured to have had my film DUCKS play a small part of a fantastic line-up!
