Help Us Bring Jurni to the Screen
We're currently in development on an animated short film about a young girl navigating grief, inspired by the children's book Jurni. Our goal is to create a resource that helps families, educators, and communities talk openly about loss - and we need your help to bring it to life.
Kickstarter Launching Soon
We’re preparing to launch a Kickstarter campaign in late 2025 to fund animation production. Backers will receive exclusive rewards like:
- Early access to the film
- eBooks and printable activity sheets
- Behind-the-scenes content
- Your name in the closing credits

Our Animation Partner: BluBlu Studios
We’re thrilled to collaborate with BluBlu Studios, the award-winning team behind animation for Porcelain War (Grand Jury Prize, Sundance 2024). With their talent and heart for the story, we know Jurni is in great hands.
Animation includes concept art, storyboards, character design, and sound design — created with care and artistry over a 6–8 month timeline.
