This is my 3rd-year film at CalArts! Quite the challenge, but I learned so much. I wouldn't have been able to do this without my friends and family's support and love. A big thank you to Alex Fortunato for adding so much life to this film with his wonderful music and sound design.

The composition is lovely, and everything about the film-with a very illustrative take on passing and cherishing our time with our loved ones before we’re gone-is just a wonderfully pleasant sight to see. The fact this only has 100 views is astounding, it deserves so much more attention
It's bittersweet, heartwarming, abit cold breeze (sad), but nonetheless always memoria of our hearts & their hearts (deceased) forevermore, nevertheless be......."I'll carry you in my mind".
This is absolutely gorgeous, I love it. The backgrounds are immersive, the character designs are full of personality, and the story really tugs at your heartstrings. Fantastic work 💖
Such an underrated film! What I especially like about this film is how much detail you can convey with such simplistic backgrounds, and in every scene the colors go very well together. You're honestly so talented and deserve a lot more recognition!!
Oh Wow this is absolutely beautiful! Made me shed a tear in the end
This is such a beautiful film! The world feels so alive- the backgrounds are gorgeous and the shot choices flow so well. I love the animation and character designs- I saw a clip of it on instagram yesterday and was looking forward to it- so thanks for posting it!
The darker colors in certain scenes are so eye-catching and luscious. I love your work!
😭 Beautiful writing, animation and score! Everyone did amazing! I hope that you have a fabulous time at the Producer's Show!
the art, the expressions, the musical score, the narration, the story with its roots and culture and sense of community - so beautiful

Truly wonderful and an amazing message portrayed in the most beautiful way. Elegant and pristine. 😔🙏🏼 rest well.
How beautiful and enchanting. Absolutely marvellous work!
A very beautiful, tender film💕💐
Thank you so much for making this. Genuinely thank you, you don’t know how much I needed something like this. You should be so proud of yourself for creating something so beautiful, I hope you make it big
Wow, this animation brought me to tears! I truly adore all the color and fluidity of your style, it gives both a very holy and naturalistic atmosphere to your work. Furthermore the story, especially the monologue closer to the end, turned out to be so moving!!! Please never stop creating, I can tell it's a gift you've cultivated closely and it has certainly paid off immensely well (also if you do commissions I'd love to get one :)
I loved the backgrounds and her abuelita hands. I just miss my grandma too. Greetings from México!
The quality of this short is simply amazing I adore it. Amazing job.
this is beautiful and so touching. so many of the comments have said the words i can only echo and repeat. this is a wonderful story and so beautifully told
This is so beautiful! The coloring, the animation, the story, everything!
Having lost my dad just a year ago. This hit me hard. It's so beautiful.

The way her eyes were still open, reminds me of how they didnt close my grandmother's properly at her funeral and mom and I were so upset to have her dead eyes staring at us
❤❤
😭💛👏🏽 this was amazing so honored we get to see this.
💓
Loved this a ton!
I made the worst decision to watch this film in the gobelins lab and GUH i started tearing up publicly at the end of this film HOW CAN U DO THIS TO ME IZABELLA >:'''''( fr tho the last shot of the grandma being surrounded by the halo just really suddenly hits me, like the composition of her in the middle of rotating circles....It's just a beautiful way to show how even when she passes away she is surrounded by people who love her. DAMN that's beautiful >:'(
💖💖💖

Sooo beautiful
I needed this
Hi, I love you video, could you tell me what time you posted this, include time zone, please😊
i cried
so pretty
i like the animation a lot i might have made the outlines on the characters a little bigger but that one is pretty easy to point at being my taste, my big critic is on the audio and i would be happy to give that critic if you'd want it but as far as the animation goes i like this one especially the use of color palates and lighting
This is a CalArts Animation? it looks rather unique
Hi Izabella I animating your characters in crazy war. With everyone's characters saving multiverse too Izabella, with tankman and pico from newgrounds. Evil purple things killing them. :'(
Я так поняла что бабушка рассказывала внучке. Что бог создал вселенную все живое, и птиц и рыб.итд.Ичтоприходит время люди отправляются на небеса. Бабушка рассказывала об этом внучке чтоб та не расстраивалась. После её ухода на.небесах.
beautiful art and film, only the voice acting threw me off
In real life any kid that gives money to a vendor after they handed them something is gonna be one broke ass kid.
