The talented team at Smiley Guy Studios in Toronto recently completed a gorgeous new short film titled Cloud 8. It was financed by bravoFACT, which gives funding to “independent Canadian producers, who seek … to create contemporary dramatic works for television.” The short follows a determined guardian angel who is tasked with looking after a particularly lazy human.
