Apparently this amateur animated film was made at Florida State University by one of the students in the School of Motion Picture, Television and Recording Arts. It's amazing how these days thanks to very powerful computers and amazing rendering software that even non-professionals can make professional quality films. While the animation is a tiny bit rough compared to products from Pixar and Dreamworks, it isn't appreciably different. Plus, they get so much out of the story thanks to exceptional writing and wonderfully evocative music. In fact, the music was so perfect and lovely that my wife, who wasn't even in the room with me when I was watching this film said "wow--that music is BEAUTIFUL". This, combined with all the other factors make this a really nice film--one that Wes Ball should be proud for creating. I sure hope to see more from this very talented man.
