Swing to the Moon

Living in the forest, little spider Temi dreams of catching the Moon. For that, she will do anything.

Let us tell you a story about the boundary pushers who shape souls and give children strange dreams. The stars of Story &amp; Pictures By are changing the narrative for the next generation - creating magic from the realities of society and personal experience, even when their own lives are not fairytales.&nbsp; Director's Bio:<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/eventive-static/2a9ae63eb0e7037b1e00a4863a68c299.jpg" style="display: inline; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 1em 1em;" width="275">Joanna Rudnick (she/her) is an Emmy-nominated director with over two decades of experience in documentary filmmaking.
