Event Type

Nick Johnson (Director) and Patrick Wilding (Producer) will be walking the red carpet for the animated film, SUNBURNT UNICORN.

Following an incredibly successful World Premiere at the Annecy International Film Festival, SUNBURNT UNICORN is a powerful, 3D-animated fantasy film that’s great for all ages. Having worked as a comic book artist for over 20 years, this is Calgarian Nick Johnson’s first feature film.

After his father crashes their car in the desert, Frankie (Diana Kaarina) wakes up to find himself alone and burnt to a crisp with a piece of windshield glass embedded in his forehead. As Frankie embarks on a journey to rescue his father from the clutches of the Cactus King, he is accompanied by a series of quirky and mysterious creatures who believe him to be The Mythical Unicorn of Legend. Thus begins a surreal voyage of wonder and terror, traversing alien landscapes, endless cracked earth, and deadly sandstorms.
