Another World is a poignant and thoughtful short film about how children are coming of age at a time when humanity is also struggling to come to maturity.
The film is based on a poem by Esther Maloney and between June and December 2020, she, along with a small team of creators from Winnipeg, Toronto and New York, regularly met and brought the poem to cinematic life.
The film’s team includes Esther, as its creator and narrator; Josefina Hernandez, illustrator and animator; Laura Friedmann, director of photography; Kyle Schmalenberg, camera operator; Jordan Bighorn, editor; Cameron Britton, score and sound designer; Liam Moore, colour corrector; and Yeshua Clavijo Villada, Sonya Francis, Maya Francis, Ilan Mostmand, Kalila Mostmand, and Blair Schmalenberg as its actors with additional voices from Shayan and Junayna Rushdy.
