Hats off to the fantastic cinematographers, animators, VFX artists, sound designers, performers, producers, production managers, agency folk, clients and everyone else who helped to make these films good enough to bag an award or two.
For myself as a filmmaker, it's really satisfying to be recognised over such a broad spectrum of projects with very different styles and goals. But I like to think they all connect with the audience through their warmth, humanity, authenticity and playfulness.
