All These
Sons
We created the handmade animated sequences and graphics for the award winning documentary.
On Chicago's South and West sides, guns and gangs are destroying countless lives. Two men dedicate their lives educating, empowering and healing young Black men at high risk for being victims-or perpetrators-of deadly gun-violence.
“With the animation, we kept going back to the beginning; starting over. It had to feel immediate like those direct techniques of old: scratch on film, paint on glass... the real thing. So that’s how we approached it.”
