Mother

Mother is a 2D computer-animated film that depicts my grandfather’s life from losing his mother at a young age to building his own family and later reuniting with his mother. The central theme of this film is the never-ending love between a mother and her son.

The use of vibrant colors, gentle music, and character/background design and sound editing that reflects the flow of time all contribute to building emotional resonance throughout the film. For instance, the big clock in the background progresses the narrative while allowing the viewers to emotionally experience a man’s 92-year-long life in a matter of seconds.

Mother received 4 awards including The Best Film in Festival from The Walt Disney TAFI (Teen Animation Festival International), and it was officially selected from 3 Academy Award® / BAFTA Qualifying film festivals—Edmonton, Indy Shorts, and Rhode Island international film festivals.
