Peter McDonald's “Harvey” was honoured with an Award of Distinction at the Prix Ars Electronica 2002, category Computer Animation.
Peter McDonald's 9-minute film "Harvey" tells a story of loneliness and obsessions. While using references to Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece "Psycho", he not only conveys this story with the means and possibilities of our times, he also transposes it into the social reality of our day.
