Simon had a very successful week at the Palm Springs International Festival of Short Films - the largest short film festival and market in North America. "Moth" was part of the Official Selection for the festival and Simon went there with Clifton (the writer) to promote the film and secure a sales agent.

We now look forward to some successful sales.
