”The Hill” is an animated short film project. It follows Maya, a teen whose holiday at her family's ski resort is disturbed by nightmares of forest fires. It is a story exploring the negative and complicated feelings around climate change and how those feelings manifest in our inner and outer worlds. The project is currently in the development phase. The storyboard is an exploration of different camera angles and lighting, searching for the most compelling way to tell the story visually.
