I am More
I am More is an initiative by Animagic Studios to create a conversation around self-esteem and body confidence among young women, their families and social circles. We want to inspire women to see themselves beyond their looks and see more than just a reflection in the mirror. To stare a little longer and find all aspects of themselves that makes them unique, valuable and beautiful. This is a story to help you find your true self.

Cups
Inspired by a true story, CUPS is about a lesbian couple searching for a sperm donor that opt for a more personal approach.
