Jonas Geirnaert (then 21 years old) was a student animation and hadn't even graduated, when he came upon a registration form for the Cannes Festival on their site, decided he had nothing to lose and sent in his "graduation-work". He had told nobody, thinking he wouldn't even be selected anyway. To his surprise, he won in the category "Best Short Film".
Geirnaert drew all of the animation (more than 9,000 drawings) himself. It took him two years. The sound however he had to prepare in less than half a day, because the deadline for sending in the work to Cannes had actually already expired.
The version of the shortfilm that won the Jury Award at Cannes was an unfinished version.
