The short film has been proclaimed semi-finalist at the LAFA (Los Angeles Film Awards) festival, a monthly competition for filmmakers and screenwriters from all over the world. Each month, the professional jury awards the best film through private screenings and an interview with the award winner.
In addition, it has also been a semi-finalist in the Cannes Indie Shorts Awards, a renowned annual event held in Cannes, focused on discovering and showcasing the talent of young filmmakers.
"A Solid Future" is an animated short film that tells the story of Bob, a character who works every day seeing the future with his machine. The days go by and the clients come and go, until one day he sees how a boy is going to be a dictator on a global level. Bob panics and tries to prevent this future from happening at all costs.
These festivals are a unique opportunity for students and alumni to showcase their creativity and be recognised beyond national borders.
