Oscar-nominated Tiny Inventions, made up of the duo of Ru Kuwahata and Max Porter, are fresh off the TorinoFilmLab, a 9-month feature scriptwriting fellowship. The first draft of the script is also part of Sundance Script Lab 2019.
The script in question is a coming of age story exploring the media, Japanese culture, fantasy worlds we build for ourselves and the loss of innocence.
Tiny inventions was nominated for the 2018 Oscars for best animated short, Negative Space, based on a poem by Ron Koertge.
See the BTS for another one of their shorts, SOMETHING LEFT SOMETHING,TAKEN, to see their workflow on how they build, photograph, animate, composite and color correct for their projects. The film is well worth the ten-minute chill time.
