LONELY
My very first animated short film
"Lonely" follows the story of a nameless character struggling through her day-to-day feelings of loneliness and isolation with a dreamlike solitude that draws one in. As she’s on the edge of giving up, something unexpected happens.
The film gradually unveils a variety of landscapes and situations that feel surreal, abstract, and even unsettling. It encourages viewers to come away with their own interpretation of the unfolding story, but a clear outcome: help is always within arm’s reach.
By sparking conversations around mental health and encouraging people to seek support, "Lonely" is a powerful reminder that no one is ever truly alone, and there is always someone out there who cares and wants to help.

ANIMATIC
One of the very first steps of the short film was building an animatic with the storyboard frames and rough sound design in order to understand how the film was feeling, timing, what works and what doesn't works, etc.
The animatic went through several iterations until it felt right.
