Synopsis
A beaver recounts his experiences as an actor following his dream to be in the movies.
Statement from Filmmaker
Twenty years ago I moved from Wisconsin to Los Angeles with the dream of becoming a professional animator. In the years that followed, I would end up working at several animation studios, but ultimately my “career” as an animator never really materialized and I stopped animating. A couple of years ago, with the memory of my dream still intact, I decided to make “Nubbinwood,” the story of a beaver who wants to be in movies as much as I wanted to animate them. Produced, directed, written, and animated by me with music created by me, it is the purest vision of my own personal hopes, struggles and disappointments through the eyes of a fictional beaver who never gives up on his dream. The story’s light-hearted documentary-like style (unconventional in CG animation) allowed me to provide personal insights into the lengths we all go through to follow our dreams and, more importantly, why we follow them in the first place. I have chosen to submit my film to your festival with a lot of thought and consideration, and I hope that you can find a place for my film in your programming. If it doesn’t meet your standards, I would, at the very least, like to express my appreciation for you spending 10 minutes of your time with “Nubbinwood.” Thank you, Tim Granberg Producer, Director, Writer, Animator, Musician, Dreamer
