Director Statement

I'm thrilled to introduce you to our film, "Brush & Floss." It's a project that's close to my heart, and I'd like to share some insights about it.

In our story, we focus on a toothbrush and a dental floss. Alongside them is a boy who, well, wasn't very keen on brushing his teeth. As you can imagine, the toothbrush wasn't too happy about that.

As the story unfolds, we see the consequences of neglecting dental hygiene. The boy faces some toothy troubles, and it's a turning point for him. He learns a valuable lesson and starts brushing his teeth regularly. And guess what? After a few months, his teeth look so much better!

Our film aims to emphasize the significance of oral care. We wanted to make the movie both informative and enjoyable.

Through "Brush & Floss," I hope to remind everyone, young and old, about the importance of looking after our teeth. It's a lesson that can be embraced at any age, and it's never too late to start caring for your smile.

I hope you find it both entertaining and enlightening, and it inspires you to take good care of your teeth.
