Festival trailers are a cool little sub-genre of design and animation. Short and sweet, they are nice displays of creativity. We haven’t featured them in the past, and probably won’t in the future, but this short animation, created for the upcoming Anchorage International Film Festival, was produced by SotW’s very own co-founder Andrew Allen! It’s a minute long, so please take a look and share your thoughts.
