@Daniel0Whitee Our film is estimated to be completed in late 2027 and we predict a potential film festival run to play through 2028

ROOT will then be released to the public in mid 2028! We’ll be sharing updates and wip posts like this as much as possible without disqualifying us from festivals

We approached Justin Gladis about how to creatively combine the environments and the hand-drawn animation into a final look. Justin came back with this, the image came to define almost every visual choice that we made in the film.

Thank you, Justin, for helping plant the seed

ROOT has a little sprout at the heart of its story. Created at the beginning concept stages, these designs have remained a favorite.
