White+Black=RED (2011)

ROLES: ALL

White + Black = RED (2011)

"White + Black = RED" is a socially positive animated short with a strong antiracist message.The story is about an argument between two opposite characters: one white and one black who, by the end of the film, learn how to respect and love each other.
It is entirely stop-motion animated on two female bodies, a pale one and a darker-skinned one.
Therefore, I'm very grateful to the two models, who’ve been really, really patient during the production of this animated short!

Models: Sheela Clericetti, Sophie Hepp.
