“Only a Child” Collaborative Short Film by Simone Giampaolo
"Only A Child" is a visual poem created by over 20 animation directors under the artistic supervision of Simone Giampaolo,
which gives shape and colour to the original words spoken by Severn Cullis-Suzuki at the UN Summit in Rio in 1992,
a child’s desperate call to action for the future of our planet. An omnibus film celebrating the environmental youth movement 30 years in the making.
I had the pleasure of creating one of these animated segments for the film.
