Director Statement
This project began a few years ago at a friend’s funeral. Looking around the room, I noticed so many different feelings and people being there for each other. At that moment I wrote a note going through what I was seeing. Later on, I revisited the message and rewrote it into a script. Using what I’ve learned about animation I was able to finally bring this idea to life. It was an extremely cathartic experience for me as I went frame by frame to create this. It was truly an experience to really let down my guard to explore emotions, something that can be very frightening.
