Luckily the risk paid off!

“For me, watching BEING BRADFORD DILLMAN is a wonderful exercise in recognizing this tendency to conjure up vivid yarns in place of offering a more straight-forward response.”

This socio-realistic animated film with its magical details draws us into a gripping story about a girl and her mother. Their fantasies make apparent the tremendous power that parents have over children at the same time as they lead to the girl’s exploration of gender and identity.” – http://buff.se

A select few films were given this honor after the judges were upset that they struggled to find time to fit them in the film’s schedule. We’re very proud of it!
