Judge's comments:

This piece of work not only landed emotionally but was also flawless in its design. It told a story few of us ever get to hear and held the viewer with craft and message from start to finish. Original, cohesive, touching, and memorable, every judge wanted to watch it multiple times, which says a lot for a three-minute animation.

Description:

Brain injuries, which are often invisible to others, mean sufferers can find it hard to admit to the difficulties they may face. By sharing a real, relatable journey of an actual victim, we encouraged others to reach out for help and begin their own journey to recovery and understanding.
