Description

When an orphaned paper boy fails to spend time with his younger sister, she makes a wish by folding his papers into a thousand cranes that magically come to life and fly away. The siblings get whisked away with the cranes throughout their village spending time together.


Director's Bio

Ellen – I am really interested in working with the visual aspects within the CG world. My greatest passion is working with modeling, texturing, lighting and composting.

Kaiya – I have a love for storytelling, with incredible visually pleasing content that entertains and touches the audience.

Thomas – My passion in animation started at the age of 5, when late one night I stumbled upon an episode of “Cowboy Bebop.”
