☀️🌱’Springrise’, the short animation I made with the NFB as part of the Hothouse mentorship program is now out, and is available to watch over at
@onf_nfb , on youtube , and the NFB website :) !
This was a really beautiful, challenging, electric, draining and dreamy experience, and I’m sosososo grateful to have had this opportunity. Thank you to the producers, Fred Casia, Lillian Chan and Maral Mohammadian for holding and supporting us throughout. Thank you to Vid Cousins, Alexandre Roy, Mathieu Tremblay, Jesse Riviere, Dominique Forget and all others at the NFB who made this happen and are such powerful people. Thank you so much to Karolina Ficek (
@karolinaficek ) for the painting assist. 🙂↕️

Thank you to all my friends and family who encouraged me, fed me soup, and told me to keep going when I wasn’t really sure if I could anymore. I love you all and my heart is bursting.
A very important and sweet and special thank you to my perfect bf Andrew (
@itsandrewking ) for holding my hand throughout, endlessly discussing and working through creative thoughts (among many amazing ideas, Andrew came up with the title - honestly huge), making me smile when I cried and keeping me together when I was falling into bits. Thank you ❤️☀️
Be brave everyone - Spring is always coming 🌷
