From the Film Maker:
The sense of joy and celebration in Claude’s painting was something I was immediately drawn to. His spectacular utopian vision evoked memories of idealised summer days.
My animation has focused on this summer feeling and the things I enjoy doing in the summer, like reading comics, eating candy, and enjoying music played loudly in fields in the middle of nowhere.
