Hi, My Film Recently Played In Brazil's Animage Festival For A Special Screening Of African Animation.

Thank You Japan! (Hiroshima International Animation Festival 2014)

Hey y'all got these back from Japan and wanted to share! I also wanted to thank Hiroshima International Animation Festival co-founder and Director Mrs. Sayoko Kinoshita (ASIFA Vice President/ASIFA Japan President) for all her kind words and for screening my film at HIAFF. The festival was built on the premise of taking the center of one of the ugliest acts against humanity (Hiroshima Bombing 1945) and using animation as a platform to promote peace and understanding between all peoples. I feel truly fortunate to have been a part of this year's festival!  -Abdul

DVD cover I designed for my animation thesis Orisha's Journey which is based on African folklore. I'm currently submitting my film to as many film festivals as I can. Thank you for your time!:)
