Little Quentin Sneak Preview

About 2 weeks ago our new animated short 'Little Quentin' had its festive sneak preview first screening for friends, family and collegues in filmtheatre 't Hoogt.
'Little Quentin' was shown together in an action packed double bill presentation with the animated short film 'Pivot', also produced by il Luster films. It was really fantastic and we wanna thank everyone that came to our little party!
Check out some photos below:

The beautiful Anima Mundi award from Rio de Janeiro! The character even walks when you pull the small lever on the globe. Obrigado, Brasil!
