Ember & Shadow

A girl and her own mind. Short animated films about the days we put off, overthink, and start again.

Come in. Tap things in her room: a few hide a surprise.

Her story is mine

Every film starts with something that really happened to me. The year I kept putting off starting a channel. The "I'll start tomorrow" that never came. The night I read one text a hundred times.

The Kid is me. The Shadow is my mind. It isn't the villain. It's scared, and it's trying to protect me, so in every film she learns to look after it instead of fighting it.

If one of the films ever felt like your own life, that's why.

If a film helped, a tip keeps the next one coming. The tip jar opens soon.

See you in the next film.

She'll be at her desk. Her mind will be there too, a little calmer than yesterday.
