Pans Jewelry

"The day of her birthday, Rabbit receives an unexpected gift from her parents and must learn to appreciate it."

"A Perfect Gift" is a commissioned short film I directed for the Chinese company Pans Jewelry. The story behind this video is very special because it was part of a multi-media art exhibit held by Pans in Shanghai. The exhibit invited kids to draw their imaginary friends and featured their drawings alongside jewelry pieces and plushies inspired by them. The exhibition also included this short film, where I was asked to create a story featuring the characters made by the children. It was a challenge to bring all these characters together, but I was inspired by the themes of family and legacy that Pans Jewelry conveys with its brand.
