Which means that we all need to go out and get blazed as f—k on some catnip, obviously.

Tucsonan Jason Willis, maker of the retro-educational short film, had this to say on the film’s Facebook page:

Whoa! Totally amazing!

The Sundance Film Festival has just announced (via the live streaming awards ceremony) that Catnip: Egress to Oblivion? has won the Short Film Audience Award for 2013! I’m completely dumbstruck and amazed!

Even more awesome: I won this based on the traffic and hits sent to YouTube, so honestly it’s totally because of all of you guys — the links that you shared completely made this happen. Fucking madness!

Seriously, great work, folks.
