The Little Witch & The Alchemist — 2023

To be understood is to not only be seen but also to be found. As a disabled individual, I have spent countless days trying to be understood by abled people who cannot fathom the idea of living my life. It wasn’t until I found other disabled individuals that I realized that I could truly and deeply be understood by others and I could understand them.

There are a million ways I could go about sharing and expressing my experiences as a disabled individual, but I chose to express my frustration and anger not in the abstract but rather with simplicity: a short animated film about a young witch who loses her powers.

My goal with this film is to reach a wide audience of people, specifically being able to grasp a younger audience that might be currently struggling with their identity as a young disabled person.
