boxd.itA ★★★ review of Yugen (2026)the design was stunning, the storytelling ambition a little too large for the short running time. great imagery, incomplete story.

boxd.itA ★★★★ review of Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe! (2026)extremely charming, gorgeously-designed take on mythology, childhood, and friendship.

boxd.itA ★★ review of Fire in My Pocket (2026)the only short in the program that didn't really work for me. "boys need an outlet for their inherent destructive tendencies" is, i think, a bad take. fun animation though.
