The Citrus Cel Animation Festival in 5 Points

The Citrus Cel Animation Film Festival in 5 Points

Wingard Creative and 5 Points Printing sponsor this year's festival

This is the inaugural year of The Citrus Cel Animation Film Festival and we’re excited to help out by designing and printing the programs for the festival. The full size postcard front and back designed by Shane Douberly.

A little background: I went to Shane Douberly, the festival organizer and Drips Black owner, looking for ways we could help out the festival. It was a no brainer for us to pitch in since it’s happening right below our office at the 5 Points Theatre. We both decided printing the programs in-kind would be the best way for us to help.

Wingard Creative recently opened a Printing.com franchise in 5 Points as an add on to our existing business so we have the ability to print these 24-page booklets at an amazing cost. Animation, Film, 5 Points, Printing, Design, it all seemed to fit perfectly.

The Citrus Cel Animation Film Festival (Citrus Cel) celebrates animation as a cultural and commercial medium with three days of screenings, parties and panels in Jacksonville, Florida. Citrus Cel will act as a hub for students and professionals from the fields of animation, design, illustration, and film, as well as add to the growing cultural landscape of festivals and events in northeast Florida.
