For the last few months I have done character designs, storyboards and story development on 'SKAL VIOLA!' ('Cheers Viola!'), a short film/PSA by Susanne Baekby Olesen (Drawesome Pictures).
'SKAL VIOLA!' is about Viola, an impressionable young girl growing up with an abusive, alcoholic father. She seeks refuge in her teddy bear, Sebastian, bringing him to life in her imaginary world. However, this imaginary world only serves as a temporary escape from her father's drunken behaviour.
The movie deals with the complex, far-reaching issues relating to alcohol/ism, specifically how it affects family units, interpersonal relationships and self-esteem, from the unique viewpoint of a child.
