Mads Johan Øgaard’s short film “I AM DYSLEXIC” was the winner of Best Film at the December 2016 Animation Short Film Festival.
Perhaps one of the best films to show at the festival in 2016. A film that received great acclaim from the audience
Matthew Toffolo: What motivated you to make this film?
Mads Johan Øgaard: I realized that not many talk about learning differences such as dyslexia. I wanted to share my story, I learned how to turn my struggles into an advantage, and I believed that my views and story could potentially help others. Wanted to show what it feels like being dyslexic in today’s society.
As I often say: I want to help my 10 year old self and give him the support he should have received.
MT: From the idea to the finished product, how long did it take for you to make this film?
