Evening Escapades
An adventurous rabbit undertakes an enchanted evening escapade through a mysterious forest trail. The rabbit encounters dreaming wolves, and other mischievous animals as he navigates a midnight mushroom garden.
Evening Escapades is a combination of animated elements and Super 8 footage that was shot in and around Ddhäl Ch'èl Cha Nän / Tombstone Territorial Park in Tr’ondëk Hwëtch’in territory in the Yukon, and then processed with plants harvested from the land.
