Stories, fables, and lore have been passed down for centuries. Some even argue storytelling is inherent to human nature. In this collection of short films, we analyze and learn how words can make a difference.
What happens when a beloved book is turned into a film? Or animating a folk tale? An oral history story? What stays in, what gets left out, or what is entirely new? The treasures in this collection are ready to explore. In one film, Jerome discovers the magic of the words all around him -- words that connect, transform, and empower. Here is a celebration of finding your own words and the impact you can have when you share them with the world. A peacock prince seeks self-knowledge and adventure and the reward is richer than he ever imagined.
