Hi everyone! We’ve just launched our short film online on our website. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it!
Le Gouffre is the first animated short film produced and directed by Lightning Boy Studio, a young creative team based in Montreal. The film tells the story of two spirited travelers who come across an incredibly wide chasm on their journey and decide to build a bridge to cross it. Released in February 2015, the project had first gained a lot of attention following the huge success of its Kickstarter campaign , which allowed the creators to finance the movies post-production. Many were impressed by the passion and determination of the small team of three animators, who spent more than two full years creating the 10-minute film.
As of now, Le Gouffre has been selected in more than 40 festivals around the world and won six awards, three of them for Best Animated Short. For the complete list of selections and awards, please head over to the Awards page.
