Adam Elliot has not made a feature film since 2009’s beguiling MARY AND MAX. The 15-year wait turned out to be well-worth it, though, as MEMOIR OF A SNAIL is as personal and moving as its predecessor. Brought to life by an outstanding voice cast led by Sarah Snook, this tale of the odd, dysfunctional, and darkly funny life of a woman named Grace is full of endless surprises and a deep well of emotion. Only the second R-rated film ever nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar, MEMOIR OF A SNAIL is an ultimately hopeful, life-affirming story of a woman coming into her own against all odds from one of the most distinctive voices working in animation today.
Adam Elliot is a filmmaker best known for his features MEMOIR OF A SNAIL (Oscar nom), MARY AND MAX, and numerous shorts including "Harvey Krumpet" which won him the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.
