Animation Block Party is the largest animation festival on the East Coast, dedicated to exhibiting the world's best independent, professional and student animation. Super77's original short, Synapse, was one of the animations to make it on the 2016 Summerfest list! So three of the Super77 team took a trip to Brooklyn, NYC to watch movies on rooftops, meet new friends, play with weird bottle openers, eat tacos, waltz around parks and ultimately win the "Minute Movie" award!
