MONO
2D Frame-by-frame Animated Short Film
A brand new journey after 5 years of dormant
In an endless void of echoes and darkness, two beings—Black and White—meet and discover one another through their light and shadow.
ABOUT
MONO began as a personal reflection on an intimate relationship I experienced in 2021, with an initial intension to explore relationships between people, to see and embrace each other’s unseen parts.
The Project was born during the Covid pandemic, and I only managed to finish the first part of the planned animation. 5 years later, inspired by a more recent experience, I had the chance to review and rewrite the ending of the story, as when I looked back my journey, my perspective has shifted, allowing me to connect with myself form 5 years ago. This gives a new answer to myself and adds the story a new interpretation of selfacceptance and reconciliation between a person and themselves.
The project is currently ongoing and I will update actively along any progresses.
DEVELOPMENT PLAN
I wish to develop MONO into a 2D animated short film between 5-10 minutes, in which I am wish to explore relationship between people and the different parts of themselves. I wish to develop different aspects of storytelling than I did before – a dialogue-free film, investigating fully into actions, colours, sound, music, lights & shadow, compositions and animation itself. As MONO is a story about relationships and self-acceptance, I hope I can explore on themes and film languages that could resonate with wider audiences across different cultures and backgrounds.
