First Line
A raw glimpse into the creative process at its most unforgiving—where perfectionism collides with deadlines and self-imposed limits. It's a short film that finds catharsis in pushing through when everything inside wants to break.
Ideal if you're looking for discovering how art emerges from struggle and self-doubt.
Young animator Mito feels trapped between the demands of a difficult sequence, a tight deadline, debilitating self-doubt, and a seemingly deranged director. Sometimes the only way to get to the other side is to charge right through.
