Here is a sketch of Alma from  Bolhem Bouchiba. We were lucky to have some great artist collaborate with us in this short, and Bolhem’s contribution was invaluable.

We just came from the Goya awards. We didn’t win the prize, but we had a great time.

La Dama y la Muerte won the Big prize. Congrats to Javier Recio and the Kandor Team. Best of luck for the Academy Awards.
