WHY NO ONE CAN UNDERSTAND
US UNLESS WE SPEAK

The School of Life asked us to direct this animation on importance of expressing how you feel in a relationship rather than keeping it bottled up inside. We wanted to use 2 characters that could never understand each other and settled on the unlikely couple of an angry old man and a hungry pigeon. We really loved pushing the boundaries of where this story could go, even if a few people on YouTube found it a bit shocking!
