It’s official. Claire Blanchet is the animator for my short film (in development with the NFB), The Mystery of the Secret Room. She’s been story boarding for the last several weeks but today contracts were signed so we’re feeling legit!

Claire did the incredible stereoscopic film called End of Pinky. The film premièred at TIFF and was named on the Toronto International Film Festival’s annual top ten list.

It’s been amazing working with Claire. Her vision and sensitivity are so inspiring. Feeling incredibly blessed.

The table read of my feature The Magic of Boxer Connors was received well. Carsten Knox from Flaw in the Iris said, “[Nolan’s] script, in its current draft form, is already better, both  funnier and more gripping, than many I’ve seen made in the region in the past decade.”

Thanks to the AFF, director Josh MacDonald and the great group of actors who presented the script.
