Alex Novitski's Animation Blog

Yesterday, 19 July 2013 I got this letter in response to my previous months submission to NFB Hothouse 9. As you can see, it's rejection letter. What I can say? Maybe next time I'll have better luck?

Dear All, The selections for Hothouse 9 have been made. Regrettably your proposals were not among the 6 finally selected this year. We received 99 applications and, needless to say, competition was fierce and debate was heated in an effort to fill the 6 available spots. Names of the successful applicants will be posted in the coming days on nfb.ca/hothouse.  We hope to post some of the apprenticeship experiences on the NFB blog during the production months. Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas and stories with us. We hope you'll keep us on your radar for future editions and wish you all the best in your work ahead.
