The Girl Who Cried Pearls

Chris Lavis

Animation

A fairytale for all about a girl overwhelmed by grief, a boy who loves her, and how greed leads the purest of hearts to commit the vilest of actions. A timeless and universal story, both strange and familiar, from meticulously crafted puppets and miniature sets. The film uses a hybrid technique of frame-by-frame animation, live-action and CGI to achieve a depth of emotion and expressiveness unseen in a puppet-based medium.
