The Spirit Child - My Animated Short

(This was a long time ago now....but I always hope to return and expand on the story)

"The Spirit Child ̈ is a story that takes place in the spirit world. The audience is invited to follow Orli, the spirit child. She resides in a cemetery on the earth plane. It is a home she loves where she innocently plays and laughs with her friends, oblivious to other planes of existence. She is unaware of her spiritual form and what lies beyond her cemetery home. The living continue their lives unaware of the spirits. One day during play Orli stumbles into a monstrous darkness. Who will lead Orli away from the dark and what amazing events does spirit life still have in store for her and her friends?"
