Description
The short premiered 11th of November 2016.
This short is a mix of CG characters and classical hand-drawn animation. The truly cute and quirky characters and story, were first envisioned by Norwegian illustrator Lisa Aisato. Qvisten acted as the hub of the production, with Kristin Ulseth from Maipo film directing, and Sparkle Animation in Portugal supplying the 2D-animation.
Lisa took on drawing the backgrounds herself, only later did she discover the scale of her undertaking!
The movie won best animated short at the Tribeca film festival, curated by Whoopi Goldberg
