Irish School of Animation at BCFE success at the RTS Student Awards 2024

REPUBLIC OF IRELAND STUDENT TELEVISION AWARDS 2024 | Royal Television Society

BCFE Animation Short, Tooth be Told, won the Animation category at the RTS Students Awards for 2024 held in Studio 4 RTE Donnybrook last night. This animated short film sits firmly in the horror genre and explores what happens when the tooth fairy collects children’s teeth – but also serves as a parable of how the lies parents tell children can take a dark turn, and the how subterranean mechanisms profit from those lies.

Tooth Be Told screened at the IFI Graduate showcase in May 2023, and is currently touring the festival circuit. The team of four Visual Media in Animation BA (hons) students’ are: Sarah Enright (Direction), Andrew Guilding (Animation), Mihai Rosca (VFX ), and Shannon Hegarty (Backgrounds and Storyboarding). Their skills, passion for craft, and strong teamworking abilities are clearly reflected in this animated short.
