Blur Studio to Develop Gopher Broke into Feature

At the Sundance Film Festival, Blur Studio announced that it will develop its 2005 Academy Award-nominated short film GOPHER BROKE into a feature film. The short screened as part of the Animation Spotlight at Sundance. The film went on to win prizes at the Animago Festival in Munich and the Imagina Awards in France.

The film, written and directed by Jeff Fowler, follows an increasingly frustrated gopher as his attempts at snagging a snack from passing vegetable truck ends in what can be described as you get what you wish for.

Blur Studios is set to begin production on its first feature, ROCKFISH, based on its award-winning short of the same name. Studio head Tim Miller, who wrote and directed the short, will helm the feature version as well.

Venice-based Blur is a commercial visual effects and animation studio. For more information, visit www.blur.com.
