Design, Animation
2019

At the beginning of 2019, my buddy Camrus and I put a project we were working on on hold to create something for his father, whose best friend had just passed away. Time was limited as we wanted this to be a condolence gift, but we made it! The result was an animated short.

The film received its Oscar-qualified status from the New York International Children's Film Festival 2020 and the Chicago International Children's Film Festival 2020. It has been selected into over 50 film festivals worldwide, winning awards at more than 1/3rd of them.
