There’s a surreal moment when the emcee pauses, then precedes with “this next one has a lot of directors…” before announcing that our collective hard work garnered another award for I Never Picked Cotton (2019), which won the Silver award for “Student Animated Documentary” at the 2019 Los Angeles Animation Festival!
Major congratulations to the Winner of this category (who was also our TA), Yuri Jan for Thread (2019), an incredibly powerful animated documentary about Korean comfort women during and after WWII. (Check out her IG here: www.instagram.com/yurssj)
All the thanks to Sheila Sofian for guiding us here! (Also thank you Trent and Janna from Visual Communications for coming out to show your support!)
