The Nevada Film Critics Society 2024 Awards for Achievement in Film Official Ballot

João Gonzalez directed, wrote, animated, and scored(god what doesn't he do) this amazing animated short in "Ice Merchants" about a father and a son where they sell ice to a local village, but trust me when I tell you there's more to this short than meets the eye.

I had the privilege of talking to director, writer, animator(seriously stop being so talented) in João Gonzalez who's short film "Ice Merchants" was nominated for an Oscar.

We talk about his ambitions in the industry, what inspired this short, why he is a jack of......a João of all trades, and what his short and long term goals are.

Check out my interview with the horribly talented, João Gonzalez!
