Candlelight follows the story of two candles falling in love but discovering that when they touch, their combined flames causes them to rapidly melt
Scott Newton fell in love with animation from his first memory of watching Toy Story at the Antrim Cineplex when he was just a child.
Scott said: "Growing up, I spent so many hours in front of the TV watching Ninja Turtles and Dragon Ball Z that I don’t think I could have escaped pursuing a career in animation if I tried! Scott has been great to work on a variety of projects throughout the years including the Oscar-nominated short Late Afternoon, on-set work on Game of Thrones, kids' TV shows for BBC, Nickelodeon and Amazon and live-action feature films and TV shows such as Blue Lights.
"I think it’s an interesting dilemma, and in the film we explore how after they meet and subsequently separate, life and the things they once enjoyed don’t really feel as magical anymore. So far on the circuit, Candlelight has appeared at 38 festivals and taken home 14 awards and Scott said seeing the reaction to his work has been an "impossible" feeling to describe."A parent messaged me and told me that Candlelight is his young daughter’s favourite film and it just takes me back to how much joy and inspiration I got from my favourite animations back in the day and how they stayed with me far beyond their run time," he added.
