Stash is pleased to present the online premiere of Richard Hickey’s “Francis.” A former Superfad director/CD, Hickey (now repped by Not to Scale in the UK and Logan & Sons in the US) worked with EP Kevin Batten to craft the tense and perfectly-paced film from a Dave Eggars short story first heard on a “This American Life” broadcast.
Hickey labored to complete the fully-CG piece between paid projects with the final production team growing to 40 people. The film was screened as part of the Cannes Film Festival and recently at Raindance.
