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:

Cinekid 2009

We had a great screening and a nice short Q&A of Paul and the Dragon at Cinekid. Afterwards we got a nice Cinekid Certificate and a pile of chocolate.

That's a wrap!

Yesterday we wrapped up the final audio mix for Little Quentin at Bob Kommer Studios. Now it's ready to go on film! Couple of weeks ago we already did a little test at Cineco, it looked great and so we got our very first filmroll! Bonus: the final final poster of the film:
