Directing these festival titles under such strange circumstances meant director Erwin van den IJssel had to think outside the box. We may all be practising social isolation right now, yet there also seems to be a spirit of collaboration and solidarity, and Van den IJssel wanted to show this in these titles.
After finishing the animation, each frame was sliced into individual parts and printed out, before being packaged and sent to members of The Panics. Directing at a distance worked a charm, and with just three weeks, 962 pages, 3848 edges cut, 22 participants, 8 ink cartridges, and 3 paper cuts and the titles were delivered.
