"Life After" wins Gold & Judge's Choice at ADDY Awards

LIFE AFTER didn’t start out as an animation. It was going to be an documentary short film (less than 5 minutes) about a heart attack patient that had CPR for 52 minutes. When we interviewed the patient and his wife they were dynamic, playful, upbeat. They even laughed as they told the story. Their experience deserved to be share in a way that was authentic to who they are. Out of that interview came an animated documentary. The voices in the film are the voices of the patient and his wife.

About the Film

Life After didn't start out as an animation. It was supposed to be an interview with b-roll documentary about a heart attack patient that survived after having CPR for 52 minutes. 

When we interviewed the patient and his wife they were dynamic, playful, upbeat. They even laughed as they told the story.

Their experience deserved to be share in a way that was authentic to who they are. Out of that interview came an animated documentary.

The voices in the film are the voices of the patient and his wife.
