ABOUT
Hedgehogs (2017) is a short film that explores isolation, dualism, and the boundaries between dreams and reality. How do you characterize loneliness, and how is that juxtaposed in both the mental and physical sense? Can they be tied together?

PROCESS
I grew up watching animated films and have wanted to write my own stories ever since. I figured that the basis for any story from a visual perspective was backgrounds, and spent most of my efforts learning about the process of creating matte paintings and environments for film. From start to finish, the whole project took 10 months.
