Artist Statement

As a teen, I was often embarrassed by my interests and desires, as well as my femininity. In turn, I lied about my favourite colour and would tone down how much I enjoyed my interests in cartoons and anime. As I grew up, I realized that lying about my true self was miserable. 

The interests I once hid are now my greatest inspirations. Themes of love, friendship, self-acceptance, and embracing one’s femininity influence the film so much.  I hope anyone who sees my film could see Ruben’s journey, and feel validated and affirmed in being passionate about their true selves.

Duration: 5:10
Medium: 2D hand animation
