kNIGHT'S KNOT
I wanted to create a story that reminded me of an instant classic, The Snowman, a story I have watched since childhood As a mum to 4 children, two of whom are 5 and under, I wanted
to give children like mine something to connect with. Knight is a girl with a recognisable problem, a problem that millions of children worldwide have experienced- a Knot. However, the way she gets help with her hair takes her on a magical little adventure.
Credits
I have always created short animations, as early as 2014, however, this is my first short film. I could not have achieved this creation without the talent and ingenuity of my animator, Berryl Mangezi, a super-talent from Zimbabwe, who not only saw the vision but bought my dream to life.
