The Power to Change the Future

We had a wonderful opportunity to write and direct this animated short for the Centre of Longitudinal Studies (CLS), called Child of the New Century. The study follows 19,000 young people born across the UK at the beginning of the new millennium. We were asked to create an engaging and fun short to show why these young people are so special. You can find more here cls.ioe.ac.uk/cnc/.
