Iran won it's first ever oscar in animation! ðŸ˜
Yall do not understand this is HUGE
Ive seen these guys in person, and they are literally of the best and sweetest people I've ever met!
They worked day and night, with terrible economy, with a lack of professional artists, with no particularly stable income, absolutely NO SUPPORT from the country, NO SPONSOR, and they freaking ROCKED
Ive seen that man three times so far, and every time, he was incredibly sleep deprived, because of this exact project
These guys were not given a visa until last minute and they rushed to the ceremony after a 25 hour flight directly FROM THE AIRPORT, they couldn't attend a meeting ment for the oscar nominees because iran wouldn't give them permission to exit the country
They went through everything you could think of
And as an Iranian animation student, to know that they were able to do it, it just means that my dreams are just not as impossible as they seemed
