New York International Children's Film Festival 2020

NYICFF was founded in 1997 to promote intelligent, passionate, provocative cinematic works for ages 3-18. Since its launch, the event has grown to become the largest festival for children and teens in North America. NYICFF offers year-round film programming, a touring festival, an online festival, and film production workshops for children ages 6-16. NYICFF is an Academy®-qualifying festival. Recipients of the NYICFF jury prizes are eligible for consideration in the Live Action Short and Animated Short Film categories of the Annual Academy Awards®.

In late 2019 I was invited to help the New York International Children's Film Festival refresh two of their Film-Ed Programme fundraising videos for their 2020 event. I re-edited their existing video footage and created new motion graphics and animation sequences based on their existing visual style. The main video was presented at the Annual NFK Benefit and Auction, where all proceeds benefited the film-ed program. I also created a shorter companion video, which was played in cinemas across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens before every film in the 2020 festival (125+ films at 88 screenings).
