Itโ€™s an adaptation of our creative chief Danny Robinsonโ€™s original Now Upon A Time story. Ruby has been on the film fest circuit all fall, recently earning an Honorable Mention at Urban World Film Festival in NYC.

This afternoon, Lilโ€™ Ruby became Oscars eligible thanks to winning First Prize for animated short from FACETS' professional jury.

In the words of so many before: โ€œItโ€™s an honor just to be considered.โ€
