This short, from three recent graduates of the National Taiwan University of Arts, is lovely. I also like the way the little girl is depicted — she’s a bit frightened at first, but she’s not at all depicted as helpless or incapable.

To read Brian's work I have to subscribe, which at the lowest price level is $75 a year. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
- Untitled April 30, 2024Cartoonists and illustrators: Watch out for this scam (it's been going around for a while, but I only heard about it recently). Person emails you wanting to commission a bunch of illustrations to go with a presentation. Pretty high offer. At the end, they mention they want to pay you by check.

Thanks. This was a great way to start the day.
Nicely done short.
No disrespect to Charles Brubaker, but may I suggest omitting his second sentence in the interest of avoiding a spoiler?
I’m struck by the fact that this Asian (Japanese?) film uses English words in signs, but not in the credits. What’s the thinking behind that?
I think it impedes comments too much if we forbid spoilers in the comments. I did add a spoiler warning to the bottom of the post, however.
The film was made in Taiwan, according to the information at Youtube.
This is a very lovely short. Thank you for posting!
If the film is set in an English-speaking place, then it makes sense that the signs are in English, even if the dialogue and credits are in another language.
this is really well-done. i love it. thank you for sharing this.
Actually a lot of Asian countries use English signs. It would not be uncommon, for instance, to walk around Japan and see the words “Market” or “Bakery” around.
Wow, this was absolutely beautiful.. very touching. Loved it through and through, and congrats to the film-makers! :)
