“When Travel Oregon approached us with their brief, we were beyond excited by the idea,” say directors Kylie Matulick and Todd Mueller. “The call for a cinematic short film that was hand crafted and fully animated, filled with the natural beauty of Oregon but elevated to new heights through magical realism was an instant ‘hell yes’!!!

Every destination needed to have it’s own unique little moment and we had a great time experimenting with how to tell the story.

“Once the general narrative was locked in, we collaborated with the amazing Sun Creature to bring this to life. They shared the same love and passion for this project and truly brought their A-game.

“In the end, we hope that people watch the film and are simply lifted away to this beautiful part of the world. And then, go explore the real thing!”
