SYNOPSIS
A young girl named Theodora becomes lost in the woods, but meets a kid with magical powers named Emet who can help her get home. Through their adventure, they overcome fear, demonstrate courage, and realize that there is truly no place like home.
We already have a dedicated team developing concept art, expression sheets, and storyboards. We would love for more animators to be a part of this experience to help bring this project into completion.
