“Despite having already experienced the excitement and nerves that come from getting an Oscar nomination, Calgarians Amanda Forbis and Wendy Tilby say the butterflies are still fluttering.“We were absolutely thrilled to bits,” Tilby said. “We weren’t necessarily expecting it.”

The two describe their short animated film, Wild Life, as a “Canadian western” based on the lives of their own family.

‘It’s also really, really Albertan,” Tilby said. “It’s absolutely situated right here.”

As members of the National Film Board of Canada, Forbis and Tilby said they feel lucky to be ambassadors for the organization.

With more than a month to go until the big show on Feb. 26, Tilby said the anticipation is already building.

“I think ‘butterflies’ is probably an understatement,” she said.”
