We were sad to report this past January the senseless killing of independent filmmaker and animator Helen Hill, who was gunned down in her home in New Orleans.
A bright star as a person and filmmmaker, Helen’s death was deeply felt inside and outside the the filmmaking community. Since Helen’s death an award had been put in place to honor her.
At this time, ReelHeART is pleased to announce indie Halifax animator Heather Harkins has won the first Helen Hill Animated Award.
Harkins created “She’s a Lady Animator”, which showcases stories of female animators working during the Second World War.
