FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Coming off a successful festival run, Nir Yaniv and Lavie Tidhar’s gentle fable The Radio is now available on YouTube.

The creative team has been behind recent animation projects Loontown, Mars Machines, and Welcome To Your A.I. Future (all 2023) under their Positronish Productions label, and are currently in pre-production on animated sci-fi movie Io.
