Title: Speech of Foxes
Runtime: 4 min
Country: USA
Director: Ben Phillippo
Placement: Best Director (Ben Phillippo) + Award of Excellence
Competition: June, 2016
Synopsis: An old man burns his mementos, but as each photograph is destroyed, he also loses a piece of himself to the fire. When the flames spread out of control, the man leaves his past, both the joy and the sorrow, behind.
To realize this vision, Director and VFX Artist Ben Phillippo blended location and green screen work, created special makeup effects, and combined practical pyrotechnics with flames added in post.
