During the Pandemic, isolation has had a huge impact on kids. With many schools transitioning to a virtual learning model, many extracurriculars have struggled, leaving students without a vital outlet for social connection. In this film, we partnered with a middle school drama class to help them connect by turning their (cancelled) school play into an original animated film, “Drawn Closer.” Working with Oscar-winning director Patrick Osborne, we used technology to capture the students' voices and performances, giving the class the chance to perform together again from the safety of their own homes.
