Ice Cubes

Created in Toon Boom Harmony.

This was my first fully animated film! I had a lot of struggles but also lots of fun working on this - it was especially refreshing finally creating media in my own language and being able to convey migraines in such a visual medium like 2D animation. I suffer from migraines myself and wanted to show that in a character experiencing it firsthand.

Ice Cubes was an nominee for Best Animation at the Signlight International Film Festival in April 2024.
