An inside look of Director, Natasza Cetner's process of hand painting each frame for her short, AND THE CRANES KEPT DANCING
When the Cranes emerge along the shoreline and draw the Man into their world of beauty and movement, he’s forced to confront what truly matters. As he drifts further from his family, the Woman fights through her own trauma to make one final attempt at reconnection, while the Child retreats deeper into nightmares and abandonment. All the while, the Cranes continue to dance, silent witnesses to a family coming undone.
