Winner of 'Best Animated Short' at the Galway Film Fleadh 2020 and screened amongst the competition films at Encounters Film Festival, TOT is a short animation following a self-titled protagonist as she travels through a fantastical universe, attempting to overcome the death of her father. 

A journey of deliverance, she proceeds with only her mask and a glowing jar and is shown the way by a mysterious woodland creature - venturing through the forest alone, her grief is lifted as the light in the jar breaks out and the sun appears through the trees.
