about project
This is my first animation film. A Middle eastern refugee father and son dangerous sea journey trying to escape the war-torn country. The film will try to highlight the fears and the peril and the risks the refugees take just to have a chance of a semi normal life. The film is made in traditional hand drawn animation. I come from the city of Tripoli Lebanon, so I felt it was my duty to make this film. Self financed with no budget it took me 5 years to make learning animation from scratch. The film was made in 3D by myself then hand rotoscoped frame by Frame by the Italian artist Cristiana Messina. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/23/one-child-dies-but-more-than-40-people-are-saved-after-boat-sinks-off-tripoli
