Award-winning final year project at Nanyang Technological University. Directed and animated by me.

Synopsis
For a large part of his life, the majority of people who have come into contact with Nigel have never heard him speak. He suffers from Selective Mutism, a rare anxiety disorder which severely affects his ability to speak under certain circumstances.
