Quote from Joshua Hogan, a graduate of the Irish School of Animation, Ballyfermot Senior College and winner of the Boulder Media internship prize:
It is a great honour to win the prize of a three-month paid internship with Boulder Media. I was thrilled that my graduate film ‘Whack Jobs’ was part of the official selection at this year’s Dublin Animation Film Festival 2018 as I know I was facing a lot of competition, but to win the Boulder Media prize is huge!
I have met some members of the Boulder team already and I am really looking forward to getting started in January 2019 – it’s a great start to the New Year. I’d like to thank Boulder Media and Dublin Animation Film Festival as well as my family and the lecturers and mentors in BCFE, I wouldn’t have won this prize without them!
