Stucco Wins at SXSW

4WT was very excited to be at SXSW for the second year in a row, but due to the present pandemic, the event was cancelled. However, hats off to the SXSW team for their quick moves to adapt to an online festival model. Stucco was honored with an award for Special Jury Recognition for Creature Design.

“We wish to highlight the beautifully grotesque and deeply unsettling creature design of Stucco. Clive Barker would be proud, which is why we award the short the Special Jury Recognition for Creature Design!”
