We've worked with Global Mechanic for Niobe Thompson and Handful of Films. This CBC Originals project is a science documentary, but it’s primarily a biography of Natalia Rybczynski: the story of her rising career, debilitating accident, and the epiphany that rebooted her continuing career as a scientist. Since much of the story happens in Natalia's mind and body, the film needed a storytelling method that could communicate the depth of her experience non-literally. Memory, pain, epiphany, depression, alienation, symptomatic distress, and the accidents that brought on her brain injury called for fine art animation, with its strength in handling the emotional and deeply personal.
