Wanted: animator. 

I have raised a small budget to produce a short animated film based on this Hungarian-themed script:

http://9TimeZones.com/s/azertis!.htm

Synopsis: Even though this European nation has existed for more than a thousand years, over 70% of the country "vanished" after World War I. Today, the exiles' great-great-great-grandkids still think in Magyar.

The final goal is to qualify for Academy Award consideration, after showing the finished film at various festivals. I believe this project needs a simple, line-drawing "wiggle" style (animation boiling or Squigglevision), but with no "cartoonish" characters. In other words, the people and animals must project dignity, even when they're doing funny things. Picasso's line drawings are good examples. Interested parties should submit one or two sample video links to: HotTip [at] Gmail.com (Animators with connections to Hungary will be given preference.)
