PROJECT - Feature documentary film main titles and film graphics package.

ROLE - Creative Director + Design + Animation

My great honor to once again work with Oscar winning Executive Producer Joanna Natasegara (my 4th project with this stellar team at Violet Films), Emmy-winning producer Abigail Anketell-Jones, and the incomparable Bafta-winning director Waad Al-Kateab.

Debuting at Tribeca Film Festival - this truly inspirational film follows an international team of refugee Olympians as they overcome the plight of displaced peoples around the world - to strive for glory at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

EXECUTION - I wanted to underscore the deeply personal stories of hardship and triumph with intimate, hand-drawn portraits of our hero athletes - as they turn towards hope and follow their dreams. Framed by the colors of their lost homeland flags, (and delicate decals of the bougainvillea plant - a nod to the hardy flowers that director Waad carries from her own lost home of Syria in the opening sequence), our heroes emerge from the darkness.

Made with the wildly talented illustrator and all-around wonderful human-being Kim Dulaney.
