Congratulations to the makers of “Our Ocean“, which has won the “Audience Choice Award” at the Athvikvaruni International Film Festival.
“Our Ocean”
Our Ocean was created by our fourth year animation and vfx students, studying the Art of Computer Animation and VFX.
Written and Directed by Priya Shah, and produced by Ethen Dent, Our Ocean was a collaboration with the charity “Ocean Generation“.
