Short of the Week Awards Honors Five Animated Short Films

Our friends at Short of the Week, the essential website for short filmmaking, have honored five animated shorts at their annual Short of the Week Awards. They chose three winners from among the films that debuted online in 2012: Mikey Preece's "The Eagleman Stag," Eamon O'Neill's "I'm Fine Thanks," and Youson Lee's "will." The two runners-up are Louis Lefebvre's "I, Pet Goat II" and Wes Ball's "Ruin."

All of the shorts can be found at ShortOfTheWeek.com. The site also features a roundtable discussion with four of the five winners about the future of animation.
