Scott Ligon’s first animated short film, Escape Velocity, explores the connection between A.D.D. and creativity using the artist’s own self-deprecating and humorous examples. Escape Velocity has played in festivals and theaters all over the world, including performances in London, Toronto, Moscow, San Francisco and Los Angeles. The film has won several awards including “Best Experimental Film” at the USA Film Festival in Dallas. Ligon has accepted a distribution offer for Escape Velocity from Shorts International, the world’s leading short film brand, with offices in London, New York and Los Angeles. The film is currently being marketed for television and should be available to purchase soon as well.
