The animated short The Pig On the Hill, co-produced by Belgrade-based Crater Studio, has received another accolade, this time at the New York Gold Coast International Film Festival, where it was the winner of the Audience Award for the Best Family Short.

Based on London author John Kelly’s beloved children’s book, The Pig on the Hill is heart-warming story about next door neighbors who are worlds apart. Living in the whimsical mountaintop community of Topton, Pig very much enjoys his solitude and silence. One day, however, Duck shows up and begins building his home next to the Pig’s.

Crater Studio produced the film in cooperation with Lightstream Animation Studios (LSA), whom they have been partners and collaborators on many VFX, film and animation projects since 2010.
