About This Film
Having spent time with Wan Dinnie's films, I have grown an appreciation of his craft and unique vision. However, each production does still show some room for growth, but with the quality of his work constantly improving, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the young filmmaker. Looking at this project, it is pretty amazing what was accomplished in a ten day span, showing that Wan Dinnie has hit his stride with his animation. Additionally, the film also boasts one of the best scores of any of the directors work from long time contributor Adam Dani.
