Metanoia: a deep change in your mind, heart, outlook, or way of life.

In METANOIA, director and animator Astrid Rothaug explores what happens when we step outside the comfort of our own perspective and whether seeing the world in black and white or through rose-colored glasses really makes things any clearer.

Go behind the scenes from Astrid’s hand-drawn storyboards to the finished animation, and see how her background in painting, printmaking, drawing, and cut-out animation shaped the film’s dreamlike world.

Directed & Animated by Astrid Rothaug
Sound Design, Music & Mix by Ken Rischard
