The call of the unknown

In 'The Wanderers,' a short story ignited by the pandemic, we explored an enigmatic force: 'the call of the unknown.' Our yearning for freedom grew, reshaping our habits. Amidst isolation, we dreamt of adventure and unexpected connections. With fresh studio talent, we created a hand-painted, cell-animated sequence. Originally constrained to 20 seconds, we ventured further, resulting in a 1-minute odyssey—a reminder that all great journeys are filled with unpredictable twists.
