A hand drawn animated film based on Thea Muir's book "Broken Pieces."

I Am So Many Things: full film

The Brief

After helping Thea with the design of the book they thought it would be a wonderful idea to bring it to life in animation. The book acted as a storyboard but we recreated most scenes to make it more cinematic.

What CUMI Created

CUMI managed all aspects of the film, directions, animation and compositing. We also commissioned an original piece of music from Rob Logan.
