ELECTRIC WATER (the series) 🌊
In preparation for our .animation_ pitch next week, our amazing 2D animation director and designer created a beautiful new loop featuring our main characters, Thala and Christina.
In this moment, the two are out on the ocean — listening through a hydrophone for whale clicks, dolphin whistles, and for human-made noise pollution.

Our story moves between two worlds: above and below the surface.
From the human perspective, we see through 2D animation.
From the whale’s perspective, we dive into stop-motion.

About the series:
When the body of a rare whale washes ashore in her seaside hometown, a 18-year-old woman sets out to uncover what happened. As she searches above, another whale drifts alone through the deep — disoriented, searching for its kind.
In a world where connection has broken down, their stories echo across the deep.

ELECTRIC WATER (the series) 🌊✨
As part of our prep for the .animation_ CEE pitch next week, we made a little animated loop featuring our Jewel Squid character! 🦑
It took a lot of creativity, patience, and teamwork to bring this squid to life — starting with , who sculpted it, then , who molded and fabricated the puppet, and finally .clay , who taught it how to swim. 💫

.institute Summer Expedition 2025 (Part 1)
I feel deeply honored that the research for the animated series Electric Water led me to .institute and its incredible crew - Alexandros Fratzis, Voula and Rada. Also a big shout out to the new friends I met this year .sot . This was my second year joining their summer expedition — and once again, it was an unforgettable experience.

Truly inspiring, heart-opening, and deeply humbling.

There was magic in witnessing the wonders of the sea… but also heartbreak in seeing how much has worsened in just one year.

We must do better for our seas and oceans.

ELECTRIC WATER will be a powerful coming-of-age mystery about the connection between humans and nature. It’s a story of discovery and awakening—and a reminder that what happens beneath the surface shapes us all.

A year ago I was still trying to develop it as a short animated film… But, through life’s magical adventures I had the amazing luck to meet and Carl Ge**er
And together we started to develop it into a high end series! Last week we already had our second writers room in Corfu, thanks to .lnz and it was fabulous!! Looking forward to the next steps!

We are incredibly lucky to have these 3 women on the creative team! 2D animation director who also created the first image of this post!
the production designer and the sculptor and model maker. THANK YOU

Images from the film are beautifully exhibited in the streets of Montreal! As part of the exhibition - Regarde! The theme of this year’s edition is: Correspondence - What if correspondence was in fact a search for reciprocity?

The film is the outcome of the beautiful collaboration I had with the amazing artist .zelli ! The film explores the forbidden friendship between an Iranian and an Israeli artists. Thank you to the amazing curator Eunice Bélidor and to Jacques Bellavance for the amazing photos!
