Built entirely within Unreal Engine, the film is written and directed by M.R. Horhager, illustrated by Aaron Hong, and narrated by Whoopi Goldberg.
Inspired by a ‘Frozen’ documentary, director Daniel Gies digitally created the film’s folded paper styled stop-motion-like animation with tools such as Maya, Houdini, and Unreal Engine; his animated short debuts later this year.
The animated film, inspired by inter-generational tales and decades-old sketches, tells a true story via symbolic fiction and intricate crafting of a young girl struggling to understand her destiny - slated for release in 2023.
Representatives from 21 countries discussed co-productions and animation projects in 600 pre-planned virtual meetings.
Award-winning indie animation house e.d. films offers first look trailer for the project, which is seeking distribution.
