‘Bad River’ Independent animated short

In the quiet hours of the night, a lone figure moves through an ancient forest. While being shadowed by a persistent crow, dawn approaches, an otherworldly encounter unfolds — marked by burning trees, shifting shadows, and dancing phantoms — where ancient darkness fades and new strength emerges beneath a familiar horizon.

Pick Your Role Models

This project evolved from my graduation project at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague - about the lack of a Dutch female Prime-Minister, an activist movement continued on role models. Which continued into a production of 50+ postcards. This was a non-profit.
