Great news from France

Yesterday we received a piece of exciting news from EdiPlay International Film Festival about selecting our animation short film “A Wooden Cat’s Secret”. We hope it’s the first serious step towards our audience. And I’m so glad that all dialogues in this film were conveyed through visual images – not a word is said there, the only language is Love…

In spite of the fact that this animation film was created recently, this summer, this story began almost 12 years ago. The screenplay was rewritten 3-4 times. Some producers expressed their interest to this work, but something stopped them from taking it into production. Only now when we get full control over the whole creative process, I can say how grateful I am for preventing those producers from buying rights for this screenplay =) Yup, whatever God does, He does for our good – I believe in this simple truth.

A Wooden Cat's Secret

Working on animation projects as a Screenplay Writer for many years, it was so exciting to get all tools for creating a whole picture in hands one day. Yes, it was such a joy to have this ability to change any aspect of your future film in every way.  

Well, let me introduce you to our first animated film is a family-friendly love story, a story of a family reunion that happened thanks to a secret of a small wooden figurine... That film was drawn with only a mouse =) We used Krita for animation and Shotcut for video editing. 

One of concepts was to produce a film that could be understood without any language =) 

Our new animation film "Elixir of Life"

Recently, I and my wife Ira finished working on our new animation film "Elixir of Life". It was a really interesting experience to see how a fairy tale I've written many years ago is coming into reality - slowly, scene by scene, but steady this story of an old alchemist, who received an expected present that changes his life, became visually real... 

By the way, our film has no dialogues - no language limits, the story will be told in the language of your heart. At least we hope so... Just in case you're curious about technical part, this film is a result of our work with Adobe Animate. If you wish to support our small family studio (just me and my wife), please, share the film with your friends. Thanks in advance.
