"Ambush" Wins "Hon Mention" Best Sci Fi at AFA

Congratulations to the makers of "Ambush", which has won an Honourable Mention in the category of "Best Sci-Fi" at the Art Film Awards. 

Ambush was directed by Thomas Grantley and produced by Viktor Fiuk. The 3D Lead was Efthymios Bairaktaris and the 2D Lead was Andrea Tomas.  

Ambush was completed as part of the VFX Project, the final film-making module in the third year of studies at Escape Studios, in which students work together to create a short film, mirroring as closely as possible the workings of a studio environment.  This is Ambush's first festival award.
