Seed and Spark

Find out more about our upcoming short and how you can help support us today! Ashes is an ode to our parents and children. We blink and our children become capable adults, while our parents are as vulnerable as we once were. A reminder that nothing in life is permanent. Ashes is deeply mournful with a sense of humor because life is just funny that way.
