This skillfully constructed animation focuses on how a social media influencer realizes the importance of taking care of the environment when her search for fame quite literally puts her world at stake. This short was animated by Exceptional Minds, an academy and studio dedicated to preparing artists on the autism spectrum for careers in animation and the digital arts.
