HOME GROWN

HOME GROWN is about a girl evacuated from a nuclear accident, who returns to look for her father. But when she arrives to find him, everything is grown over. She finds her father, but he is not the same. She then has to try and put everything back like it was, but eventually she is the one that changes. It’s a 20-minute short film about leaving the past behind, and accepting that nature finds a way. The film uses a combination of animation techniques. Backgrounds are composed of photos that have been ‘camera mapped’ onto 3D surfaces, and the characters have then been animated on top.
