AFI Fest honors two stop-motion shorts

Big day for stop-motion shorts, apparently! Pesco posted the lovely Stop motion history of stop motion this morning, and this afternoon, AFI Fest announced their short film winner was the crazy-cute stop-motion Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, directed by Dean Fleischer-Camp. Honorable mention to Photograph of Jesus directed by Laurie Hill (shown above, mentioned by Richard Metzger on BB last year). Live-action doc The High Level Bridge also got an honorable mention. Congrats to all!
