Day 5: Fredrikstad Animation Festival


Day 5 at Fredrikstad was mainly about packing down our stuff and heading home

. But we did manage to fit in a breakfast interview with Nik Phelps, Nancy Denney-Phelps and Alexeev Alexey (Creator of Log Jam) which will be available later this fall.

Thanks to everyone who listened to us thoughout these 5 days, and of course to everyone we got to talk to and interview.
