Hi Everyone,

I'm very excited to let you know that Elena's work "Russian Rag" was recently used in the claymation film Mary and Max which premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival. The film is written and directed by Adam Elliot and can now be seen at a theatre near you!

Here's what Elena had to say about the film:

"A year or so ago I was utterly thrilled when I found out that Adam Elliot, Oscar winning creator of the 30 minute claymation 'Harvey Krumpet', wanted to use my piece 'Russian Rag' as one of the themes in his new feature claymation "Mary and Max". Now that I saw this fabulous and touching film in April 09 at its Sydney Premiere, I am so proud that this piece is used as the theme for Max who lives in New York, throughout the film. The way Adam and his team used the music is just brilliant. This photo is taken just before the screening. Mary and Max opened this year's Sundance Film Festival and won Special Mention at Berlin International Film Festival in February 2009."


Elena with Director, Adam Elliot

All best,
