An awesomely made little film, it's fun and visually very cool. I highly recommend it.

Totally magical. Follows Mike Jittlov, aka "The Wizard of Speed and Time", and his film animation career. He runs into many hurdles trying to get his work released by Hollywood. It's such an imaginative and energetic film, which gives hope to any independant filmmaker, and gives us a good idea of what goes on behind
