When there’s this much love poured into a story, you just know it’s going to go places. My Brother, My Brother has been the most beautiful example, and our greatest teacher. Watching my brilliant friends, the Dnewar Brothers, tell their life story with such honesty and craft has been an honor. Having known them for over a decade, I knew their passion and talent would result in a visual and emotional masterpiece.
This beautiful journey began with our world premiere
@iffr , followed by a Special Mention
@lecourtclermont , and the Zebra Award at MiWorld, all in the first quarter of 2025.
And now… the biggest and most thrilling win of all, the GOLDEN GATE AWARD for Best Animation from
@sffilm !
Next up: our Asian premiere
@goldenhorsefilmfestival ,
@psarokokalo.festival in Greece, and the cherry on top for any animated film
@annecyfestival .
Here’s to My Brother, My Brother continuing to find its way into the hearts of many, just as it did ours.
Here’s to the generous, massively talented, wore-his-heart-on-his-sleeve Saad Dnewar, whose soul and brilliant craft are in every frame. Your vision, dedication, and spirit breathed life into this story. I hope you’re watching and feeling all the love from above.
And here’s to the exceptional team who brought this film to life.
