Working on Birute Sodeikaite’s third short film was a beautiful and challenging process for us. We developed new techniques through Birute’s guidance to create this unique look - involving a motorized crystal hummingbird, and a head-first dive into Blender 3D.

The film is currently playing festivals, but will be available here when it’s released. Until then, see some behind-the-scenes pictures on Birute’s Instagram, or some video vignettes on ours.
