Eoin Duffy's Oscar-nominated George Takei short released in full online

It’s a truism now that graphic design students often end up doing something quite different, and Eoin Duffy is a good example of someone who pursued another kind of creative path. But few have enjoyed the same success as the Irish-born, Vancouver-based animator, whose latest work The Missing Scarf was feted by almost every film organisation worth its salt. It was even nominated for an Oscar, and now the full version has just been released online you can see for yourself what all the fuss was about.

Narrated by Star Trek actor turned pop culture icon George Takei, it tells the tale of Albert the squirrel who is on the hunt for his lost scarf. I don’t want to give too much away but safe to say the film starts off as one thing and ends up as something quite different, so stick with it.
