La Maison En Petits Cubes
A friend of mine linked me this film and it's a PERFECT source of inspiration - everything I'm trying to do but done well: flashbacks, montage, loss of loved ones etc etc etc and there's even the bit where the old man pours two glasses of wine! Actually, thinking more about things this is what I've been aiming for (but obviously this film is a much longer format than what I'm doing) so hopefully now that I've watched this I can fix my entire animatic. Here's to being hopeful!
