From the Judges, on A MESSAGE TO THE AUTHOR (2025)

From the Judges, on A MESSAGE TO THE AUTHOR

A quietly magical story about a boy, a bookseller, and the pull of his own destiny, this short carries the warmth of the fantasy films many of us grew up watching. Its effects work and production design drew genuine admiration from the panel, from the handcrafted books holding people's stories to the small conjurings of wonder, while the lighting and composition give every frame a deliberate, glowing style. The score lifts and settles exactly where it should, adding that extra touch of magic to the images.

Curated, anonymised highlights drawn from the judges' notes.
