A Final Word From the Team
We hope you enjoyed our submission, as much as we adored yours! We loved this journey from the very beginning but alas, the team went through a rough patch fuelled by factors beyond our power. Sadly, we could not finish the storyreel in time for the end of this program and we can only present the first two acts. But we will not give up! We will finish this reel and start many more! If our story so far made you curious and excited for more, check out our socials! Come by, say hello! We're most active on Instagram.

Thank you, beloved peers, for the great feedback and wonderful submissions! Thank you, Pixar professionals, for the important knowledge and inspiring personal stories. Thank you, X in a Box team, for making this project possible. And finally thank you, Write for Animation, for without you we wouldn't have found this program at all! We bid you farewell with a smile and wonderful memories, and wish we keep in touch or meet again! Best wishes from Europe!

I am thankful about everything in these past weeks. The good, the bad and the ugly! I loved every moment I worked on this project and realized once and for all: storytelling is what my future looks like! The kind and insightful words from the active professionals touched my heart's very core and I went on a deep personal journey. I would have never bettered myself this well and quickly if it wasn't for participating in the program with my wonderful teammate.
I am so happy I shared this project with Varian and I’m forever thankful for their help, professionally and personally. I pray this friendship never ends, my dear, and cheers to a fulfilling future for both! For all of us!

It's been a couple very informative and exciting weeks.
Being a former student within fields of comic, cartoon, Photoshop and illustration years ago, this experience helped me get back on track, refresh knowledge and rediscover the love and passion I had lost to pressure and bad experiences.
I forgot how much I loved creating and sculpting characters within their world.
There was nothing I loved more than sketching whatever I found fascinating starting already at the young age of 3? Or however old you are at Kindergarten...

Anyways!
Thank you once again to Xperiential, X in the Box, and all the great Artists. It's been inspiring seeing all these individual projects and ideas!
However the biggest thank you goes to the person that got me the spot in this workshop.
Cassilda. We barely knew each other when you asked me to Team up with you, and I believe we still have to learn much about each other.
We managed to work as a Team through good and difficult. Gave blood, sweat and tears to make it work!
It was not perfect, but for two individuals that just met it was pretty nice!
I think we managed good in the end.
So thank you for patience, understanding and support during these weeks. ♡
