I got Pennipotens into the Columbia Gorge International Film Festival. WOOT! Curiously, it's a GIANT list of films, so I'm not really 100% sure if "Official Selection" is the same as "this will be screened". Once I know a day and time for sure, I'll let y'all know, in case you happen to be out that way.
**Update**
Just found out Pennipotens was awarded Best Animation! Sweet! I'd been feeling a little down about things (or maybe it was just hormones), but this sort of affirmation was just what I needed. THANK YOU, VANCOUVER!
