BAFTA-winning film "Making of Long Bird" comes online

Will Anderson directed and animated "The Making of Long Bird" as his thesis project at Edinburgh College of Art and Design, a 15-minute mockumentary-style short about a forgotten Russian cartoon character from 1911 that was a hit at film festivals, culminated by winning the UK's BAFTA (2013), the equivalent of an Academy Award. One of Anderson's script collaborators on "Long Bird" was Ainsley Henderson, whose own short film "I am Tom Moody" was likewise a big hit on the festival circuit.
