Written by Chris Shaw, Andrew Myors, Sara Stafford and Sam Wylde, ‘The Crossing’ is powerfully artistic. Up-standing animation, crisp sound effects and soundtrack aids the viewer to feel the harsh dramatic climate and the emotional expedition. Every frame of this short film is craftily considered with picturesque landscapes and intense close-ups.
‘The Crossing’ isn’t afraid to document the extreme suffering the Buddhist country received by the hands of communist China and that must be applauded. A brave, emotional short that informs and educates through artistic brilliance. Highly recommended to all ages.
