Always Above Us by Sherpas Cinema


Leading the life of a climber involves a tremendous amount of sacrifice and hardship, but for team athletes Conrad Anker and Kris Erickson, there’s no living without it.

In 1999, on an expedition in Tibet, team alpine climbers Conrad Anker and Kris Erickson lost their good friend and exploration companion, Alex Lowe, to an avalanche that narrowly missed Conrad himself. To preserve Alex’s honour, Conrad and Kris establish and send the Nutcracker, a new ice climb route in Hyalite Canyon, Montana.

Me, by J-Money by Daniel Bruson


Preschool Poets is a series of eight short animated films based on poems composed by four and five year olds.

Conceived and produced by artist and poetry teacher Nancy Kangas and filmmaker Josh Kun, the project is based on Nancy’s work teaching preschoolers to write poetry at Columbus Early Learning Center, in Ohio. She’s picked eight beautiful, startling poems to be recited by the children themselves and adapted by animation artists from around the world.

I was invited to interpret the poem „Me“, by Ja’Lantea, in which he feels a new day should come with his new name: J-Money. I was amazed by the power of these kids‘ words and so glad to be part of a such unique project.
