East London artist Elizabeth Hobbs is ‘thrilled’ with her BAFTA nomination, and can’t believe how well it has been received.
Hobbs is up for Best British Short Animation with I’m OK. The animation is inspired by the life of Austrian artist Oskar Kokoschka.
Speaking to CityNews, Hobbs admits “it’s so brilliant to be recognised after so many films”.
“When you’re working in animation and you have a BAFTA nomination, it means a lot to people outside animation.
“It’s a badge of honour which they can appreciate more,” Hobbs explained.
Based in East London, Lizzy originally trained as a printmaker. But she’s been a film-maker since 2001.
The film took four years to make and was painted in her home-studio.
Hobbs describes the film as “dramatic, intense and painty”.
On her films legacy, Lizzy hopes “it introduces a certain kind of experimental animation to the kind of BAFTA audience as well.”
