Six Year Old Girl’s COVID Inspired Hand Sketched Story and Animation Selected in Three International Film Festivals


Washington DC / 360PRWire / December 13, 2021–Six year old Ellie’s hand sketched story and animation won selection in three international film festivals. The pandemic lockdown inspired a Maryland kindergartner to write a story about friendship, playing in nature and imagination. The hand-illustrated story called “The Leaf Gurl” was published as a book as well as an animation, narrated and directed by Ellie. In history, there have been only a few child female authors who have written and published books.

 

“The Leaf Gurl” was selected in 3 film festivals:

The jury for Chicago based Alder International Film Festival (AISFF) that was held in October 21-27, selected and screened Ellie’s animation, “The Leaf Gurl”.

In November 2021, the Phare International Film Festival announced the selection and screening of “The Leaf Gurl”.

The Kalakari International Film Festival also selected “The Leaf Gurl” and will screen the film in February 2022.
