In Wisp's Call a young girl is lured into the forest and meets a curious spirit. She is ultimately required to make a choice. Wisp’s Call is an animation I have created to resonate with people who yearn to escape the weight of responsibility and seek solace in the fantastical worlds depicted in films and books. It delves into the universal struggle of balancing personal desires with feelings of resentment and obligation toward one's family. Wisp's Call aims to offer viewers a deeply relatable experience, exploring themes of longing, escapism, and the complexities of familial relationships.
