Before the Nazi occupation, Jews made up 30% of the city's population and lived with and interacted freely with their fellow citizens. The Nazi takeover was swift as was the subsequent betrayal of Jewish citizens by their non-Jewish neighbors. Jews were forced to abandon their homes and belongings with as little as 15 minutes notice. In our story, there is a cellar. It had served as a second home to a barber. He had probably been forced to leave his primary residence and his only place to go was the cellar of his business. But, preemptively, he fled that location too. Like so many others in need of shelter, our protagonists take over this space. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e51b98e3e05f366c149adcd/fb63e5e4-1467-40b8-bda9-78e4c5d723ae/MILKWEED+4.jpeg Blog - Update I : Art Direction - Scene 3, 9 & 10 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e51b98e3e05f366c149adcd/a131fc16-94d8-441f-930f-60e89c961b83/MILKWEED+5.jpeg Blog - Update I : Art Direction - Scene 3, 9 & 10 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e51b98e3e05f366c149adcd/9681bf42-4d25-428f-ac1c-c4a48ba0ffde/milkweed+1.jpeg Blog - Update I : Art Direction - Scene 3, 9 & 10 - We have gone through several rounds of screenplay adaptation and are now creating b&w illustrations for each scene of the script. These will help guide the animation when we get to it. After the b&w we go to color. I'll be sharing some of these illustrations as well as the thoughts and considerations that go into creating them. This moment is the start of their story. A young happy-go-lucky street kid who doesn’t know his name and has no memory of a family, meets a middle-class Jewish girl. He feels seen for the first time. From this point on his life is bound up with hers. https://milkweedthemovie.com/blog/milkweed-film-update monthly 0.5 2021-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e51b98e3e05f366c149adcd/4fdd3413-ea18-4854-ac12-99648975fa33/MKD_sketch_seq12+3.JPEG Blog -
