Balloom is a fourth year thesis film about a Clown who struggles to accept the inevitable demise of his balloon animals but gains a new perspective on life thanks to those around him. It is a heartfelt story about the importance of appreciating the present and coming to terms with the difficulties of loss. 

 

While Balloom was a story conceived from a number of personal experiences and emotions, at its core lies a universal message in which I believe anyone can relate to. Incorporating a depth of symbolism and psychological elements while broaching the delicate topic of grief through a childlike, illustrative style makes Balloom a film suitable for young and old alike. I hope this film serves to entertain, inspire and comfort those who view it, prompting us all to take a step back and reflect on life. The best thing we can do is to live, for ourselves, for those around us, and for the beloved ones we've lost.
