M.A.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Graduation Short Film

 
 
 
 
 
 

A mother raises a child in a post apocalyptic world torn down by robots. Unbeknownst to the child however his mother is also one of them.

My graduation film at the Arts University of Bournemouth 2021.

 

M.A. is a 2D animated film co-directed by me and Jean-Louis Khaou. The film focuses on themes of parental love, and time and decay. The film's moral is centered around a mother's love for their child, and draws inspiration from my own childhood with its anime inspired visuals and Hong Kong styled landscapes.
