Have a peek at some more of the pre-production work from 'Of All The Things'. We are passionate about animation as a medium for storytelling not just for children but for all audiences.

Animated shorts are a wonderful format, they can have a big impact on audiences in a very short space of time. They are great for visually and emotionally conveying complex topics making them more accessible and easier to discuss.

We hope that using animation to depict hoarding disorder and the emotions it triggers will offer people a fresh perspective on the condition.
