So grateful to all the festivals that chose our little film. We started making these clips early on and didnāt expect to be able to put such a fun montage together!
If you missed Rajas & the Wolf Girl on the big screen itās available to watch now at the link in our bio!
Not shown is the over 60 or so rejections. We invested a lot of time into making this film so we really went for it on festival submissions.

Looking for a unique animated short film that blends techniques?
Rajas & the Wolf Girl is a surreal animated short set in a strange, colorful circus, following a lonely teenager who transformsā¦ and unexpectedly falls in love with a mysterious wolf girl.
This indie animation combines 2D rotoscope animation, motion capture, and 3D environments to create a hybrid visual style that feels otherworldly. A story about identity, connection, and not quite understanding yourself, told through transformation, humor, and awkward romance.

Nidhi and I met in film school at UT Austin in 2011. After making a documentary for a class project (and crushing on each other in the processā¦) we realized how much we loved working together and figured we could make some other stuff together too! 14 years, a few different jobs, cities, weddings, arguments, cats and (liminal?) houses later, weāre still making projects together! #animationstudio #marriedbusinesspartners #loveandcapitalism

The love story you werenāt expecting.
RAJAS & THE WOLF GIRL is a surreal animated short film about a lonely teenager who transforms and unexpectedly falls for a mysterious wolf girl.
Set in a strange circus world, the film blends rotoscope animation, motion capture, and 3D animation to create something entirely its own.
Awkward, emotional and a little absurd.

RAJAS & THE WOLF GIRL
A surreal animated short film by @nidhisreddy
A story of transformation, connection, and the strange ways we try to understand ourselves, set inside a vibrant, otherworldly circus.
Blending 2D rotoscope animation, motion capture, and 3D environments, the film builds a unique hybrid style that feels both intimate and uncanny.
A standout piece of indie animation crafted over years of development and brought to life by a small, dedicated team.
Now playing on the SCRIMSHAW YouTube Channel.
