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

    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!!

    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 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 >:'(

    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
