Edinburgh International Festival | RSVP Project | Cornton Valley Blues

A crocodile and a mermaid’s unlikely friendship.
This short animation was created through the RSVP Project as part of the 2024 Edinburgh International Festival. We led workshops with young people who have a family member currently in the prison system, in collaboration with the Scottish Prison Service and The University of Edinburgh.
As part of our commitment to supporting the next generation of talent, eight emerging animators received a paid commission to transform the young storytellers’ visions into animated life.
