Bet you’re saying how can there be more wonderful animations on Random Acts? Well there’s another beauty tonight. Of course I’m bursting with pride as this is the third film which we’ve commissioned for the Random Acts. Plat Du Jour by Simon Swatman and Milo Waterfield was on last night. You can still see it here.
