I am honored to share that the short I directed called “The Story of Walls” has been nominated for an Annie Award! For the past year and half I had been working with a team to build Badmash Animation Studios from the ground up. The studio was based out of LA, San Francisco and India. I had the amazing opportunity to travel to India for two months and direct this film.
“The Story of Walls” is an absurdist history of trade protectionism. Throughout history, our world has allowed simple misunderstandings, greed, and an all-consuming love of nachos to divide us. To succeed as a people, we must understand that our individual success is based on our collective success. More importantly, we must also understand that there are enough nachos for everyone!

Hi Pete. Amazing work.
I briefly met you at your mom's birthday party here in Salt Lake in October.
Last night, my wife Reba (who works with Scott "Scooter") were over at your mom's house last night for dinner and she showed us the short. Amazing! Simply amazing.
As a budding short film/video maker, I was very impressed. I thought the story flowed well, combined with some great animation.
Good luck with this. This is the kind of talent that needs to be used in every aspect.
wow! its lookin great..! all the best!
Incredible work!!

Fantastic stuff Pete! Congratulations and good luck.
I find "Superbes" the great designs of the film.
I just watched the short on the Annies ballot and loved it! Had to look you up and pleased to see I already was a huge fan of your work from Cloudy! The style/design of that film has been so inspirational - I can't wait to see what comes next! :)

This is probably one of the most beautiful cartoons done in Flash, I've ever seen.
The characters are designed and animated so fluidly and effortlessly, it makes me sick.
In a GOOD way! :)

Dude, this is an amazing amount of work. Great job.
Dear Pete,
I am producing a small animation video and am looking for a great voiceover artist. I like the voice of the person who narrates in your video and was wondering if you could help me get in touch? Thanks in advance.

The movie looks cool but the representation of Jews are close to antisemitism. the Jews looks like vultures,coming from nowhere, attacking Innocent Arabs. That's far from truth. Jews lived in Israel and were banished from their land. When returning to Israel they were attacked, murdered and every separation offer to the Arabs, to create two states was denied by the Arabs. That is the Arabs attitude until these very days: no negotiation, just terror. this part of your film is, therefore, shameless and racist.
