COMING OF AGE
Follow Kia into one of her adventures in this short trailer that I made for PIXELVienna 13, the biggest animation and computergraphics conference in Austria.
Kia is a 13-year-old with her "head in the clouds" that refuses to grow up like she's expected to. She insists that everyone should continue to daydream even as an adult, since we need to dream big in order to get far, and life is too serious anyways.
I directed and animated this passion project of mine next to my studies and freelance work over a timespan of 4 months.
