"I love pixilation for its ability to fold different animation styles and effects into one scene, and create the expectation that 'something different is possible' in the mind of the audience."⁠ ⁠ In the beginning, God was hungry.

"I was interested in the concept of closure. My own experience is that you really struggle to move on unless the other person shows regret, says they’re sorry or takes accountability."⁠ ⁠ When life gives you lemons make lemonade - only in this case there is no lemonade to be made but the lemons still taste sweeter than what you left behind.⁠ ⁠ 🍋 Sweet Like Lemons⁠ Dir. Jenny Jokela⁠ ⁠ ▶️ Watch Now 🔗 Link in Bio⁠ ⁠ "With its unconventional narrative structure, paired with traditional painted animation, the film creates a dreamlike atmosphere that perfectly captures the turbulent emotions of heartbreak. The protagonist’s journey is raw and relatable, as she navigates the painful process of falling in love, losing herself, and ultimately, finding the strength to move on." - S/W Curator, @marianarekka⁠ ⁠ CREDITS⁠ ⁠ @ (director)⁠ @bonobostudio_zagreb (distribution)⁠ @sarahmplayford (music composer)⁠ @adam_designs_sound (sound design)⁠ @celiahillo (additional writing)⁠ ⁠ #ShortFilm #Filmmaking #ShortoftheWeek #Animation
