Michif director and animator Amanda Strong combines puppets and stop motion in this arrestingly beautiful short. Amanda Strong is an Indigenous (Michif) filmmaker, media artist and stop motion artist currently based in unceded Coast Salish territory, also known as Vancouver. She studied photography and illustration at Sheridan Institute and extended those mediums into creations in media arts.
