Doug Alberts, director/designer/animator in Chicago: “In early 2020, my girlfriend and I found ourselves at one of the hardest moments of our relationship and friendship.
“Our year was sadly cut short when Covid sent us back to our home states, about 1200 miles apart. In that time of separation, we depended on the memories that made our relationship sound.
“This film marks our moments of happiness and struggle in that season of distance dating.
“A difficult challenge was wanting our characters to be a soft 2-feel in a harsh 3D environment. The best solution was making them in 3D using volume mesher with the addition of light textures so whenever they traveled their light would bounce off the objects around them.
“Stef and I are still happily together today.”
