Director Statement

As my graduate film from RMIT University, making 'Felled' was a heartfelt journey. I wanted to create a fun yet touching story that uses animation to its fullest potential. In a world that faces seemingly insurmountable issues, I hope ‘Felled’ brings laughs while highlighting the importance of approaching these problems with empathy, rather than hostility.
