Crema Suprema!

It has been quite a journey for Crema Suprema...(and it is still requested in festivals today)


Inspired by the feel of the old rubber hose animations up until the introduction of technicolour, Crema Suprema (2008; 2 m. 50 s.) is a multiple award-winning stop motion animation about two bakers who are competing to win the World's Greatest Cake Contest. As the bakers sabotage each others "masterpiece" cakes, it seems as though neither baker has a chance of winning. Only one cake can win.

It has won 3 awards: Best Animated Short at the LaFemme Film Festival (Beverly Hills), Best Animated Short (Jersey Shore Film Festival) and Audience Choice Award for Best Animation (Jersey Shore Film Festival).
It has been nominated for the following: Best of Festival and Best Animated Short at the Miami Short Film Festival; Best Animated Short at the Action on Film Festival (Pasadena); Audience Choice of Best Animation (Sedona Int. Film Festival) and an Animation Semi-finalist (Angelus Student Film Festival).
It has been screened internationally, including the Cannes Short Film Corner in both 2009 and 2010.
