Marie Robin, young 20 years old french, studies Cinema at Université de Montréal. In august 2016, she direct her first Montréal short film « Le Jouet Extraordinaire ». In October of the same year, she tries production direction to do a student short film.
Written as a part of my studies in Cinema, The Amazing Toy is about children in a world where they are interested by money and objects like cellphones, tablets and video games. With a comic value, the short film asks important questions as the relationship with money of young children and the impact of toy on their education.
