His short animated film The Hat was selected by the producers of the Spanish television show VU87 to be screened as part of their show on 26th June 2008. It was shown not only on digital television in Spain, but also broadcast via satellite to Canada, U.S.A, Mexico and South America on the Spanish speaking television network Antena 3 International.
