The results are in! We are so proud to announce that our short film HANJO received the Innovation Prize in Catapult Opera's first-ever Accelerate Competition!

We couldn't be prouder of the work that we presented, and are so grateful to have been recognized by the esteemed judging panel. We would like to extend a HUGE congratulations to the participating teams for putting up such stiff competition. The judges really had their work cut out for them, it couldn't have been an easy decision! In case you missed it, or you would love to watch it again (we don't blame you), the film is now live on our website. Click below to check it out!
