The Mind's Wood is a story about a boy who escapes reality and enters his imagination to find out who he really is. But can he listen to his inner wishes and become the man he feels he should be?
The team involved in creating this film are a dedicated and experienced group who have come together to turn a wonderful story into a magical short film full of artistic creativity. A blend of surreal characters and a combination of live action and stop motion gives this film the magical feeling of childhood wonder that resonates with all ages.
Everyone involved in making this film has really become attached to the script and are caring and passionate about the project as if it was their own.
With your help we can complete this fun and fantastical adventure and fulfil our passion to give you a beautiful story of a boy lost and found in his own imagination.
