Fjeldmark was nominated for an Oscar for his work on the short WHEN LIFE DEPARTS and served as an animator on such feature films as FERNGULLY, A TROLL IN CENTRAL PARK and THE PEBBLE AND THE PENGUIN. Hegner was an animator on the TV series QUARK and directed an award-winning PSA for organ donation. HELP! I'M A FISH is a 3D/traditionally animated film about a trio of kids who after becoming transformed into fish race time to find a way to become human again before it's too late. The week of October 20, the film expanded into other European markets, but no word has been made on whether it will come to the States any time soon.
