It's Finally Out!!! we made this almost 2 years ago at Sony hoping to raise awareness about mental health.

Cut to present and we couldn't have predicted that the film will be used to bring conversation of mental health to kids all across North America 👏🏿.

"I Should Go. . . "

Here's another fun moment between Miles and Jeff.

These shots went through quite a journey (Read Thread).

[Joe.Darko @JoeDarko0]

I never thought that I would need help being awkward, but it was definitely tricky to find the right tone of awkwardness for Miles. Luckily the awesome Joy Liu (who animated the first shot in black and white) was there to give me a masterclass in Awkward Acting :D !!!

[Joe.Darko @JoeDarko0]

Originally Miles was pretty confident as he exited the scene, thinking he had a successful adult conversation with his Dad "Good Talk!".

However the filmmakers later decided to make Miles act awkwardly throughout their whole conversation.
