Animated Short Film
"A married cat-dog couple of cupcake bakers dream of opening their own bakery. One day their oven breaks and they have to postpone their dream in order to earn money and replace it. Somewhere down the line, they drift apart from their dream and from themselves."
"Here's the Plan" is an 18-minute CG animated short film I directed, wrote and produced with the financial support of the National Council of Culture and the Arts. The film was the result of nearly two years of work alongside a talented team of 32 professionals. It premiered internationally at the Nashville International Film Festival and had its Chilean premiere at Festival Chilemonos 2017, where it won Best Chilean Short Film. It was selected for over 20 international festivals, including Anima Mundi Brazil, SIGGRAPH Asia, and the Chicago Children's Film Festival, and was long-listed for the Academy Awards.
