Circus Boy has made the Top 10% of nearly 7,000 scrips in the 2018 Academy Nicoll Fellowships Competition. This is a really important competition as the Academy is directly linked to the Oscars that take place in January each year.
Circus Boy is a feature length animation based on a published short story for children. It tells the story of Billy, a boy who lives in an orphanage who runs away with the circus to become a clown and is pursued by a cruel housemistress who wants to return him to the orphanage.
