Jersey Fresh, Tales of the Wiccan Chicken has been selected for the Ottawa 06 International Animation Festival’s Pitch THIS!, which takes place as part of the Television Animation Conference (TAC). The project is one of two winners, chosen from proposals from Canada, the US and abroad. Congratulations to Chris Dainty and Jessica Borutski on also getting selected for their pitch The Constellations!

If anyone is interested in attending, Pitch THIS! will be held on the second day of TAC, Thursday, September 21 at 11:00 am at the Chateau Laurier hotel. If you are in the animation industry, we highly suggest that you come to the event as it is the best way to network with industry professionals!
