  • Gary M. Sanner

    The generous discount offered by Koลกice International Monthly Film Festival made it possible for me to submit my "Derivative" project to their All Categories option. It never occurred to me that my animated short could win Best VFX, especially since it didnโ€™t use CGI (just a little imagination and a lot of math). Itโ€™s great to know that KIMFF values old-school visual effects โ€” from my entertaining daydreams to their entertained eyes!
