Written, directed and animated by Mike Stern
The Open Animation Festival is here to showcase all sorts of interesting and inspiring animated shorts. It's a particular kind of art to make these and can often take 100's or even 1000's of hours of work to complete. Here I will try to find some of the best and show it off a bit.

The Pig Farmer - by Nick Cross
This is a interesting one :)
The Pig Farmer is a short animated cartoon by Nick Cross. A simple tale of a wayward soul, awash in an ocean of tragedy and regret.
