Selected Film
Lilly Evergreen, a 12-year-old hearing-impaired Indigenous girl, experiences the world through vibrations, intuition, and the rhythm of nature. When she discovers an ancient trail of footprints leading deep into an enchanted forest, she encounters Whinston—a teenage Bigfoot desperate to prove himself as the next Forest Guardian. To succeed, Whinston must pass two sacred trials: rescuing a lost Pegasus hatchling and protecting Naya, a sacred spirit bear cub whose survival is tied to the balance of the land’s waters. But when unseen forces threaten their quest, Lilly and Whinston must trust in their own strengths—and each other—to restore harmony to the forest. A heartfelt and visually mesmerizing animated short, Finding Footprints is a story of courage, friendship, and the unseen magic that connects us all. Through lush, hand-crafted animation and a deeply resonant narrative, it explores themes of belonging, environmental stewardship, and the power of listening to the world in ways beyond sound.
