女优app Art Department faculty were members of the animation team who created the feature length documentary film, 鈥淒reams of Daraa.鈥� Professor Will Kim served as the film鈥檚 art and animation director, with Jian Lee, an associate faculty member in the department, was the digital compositor.

鈥淚t was an honor to work on this film,鈥� Kim said. 鈥淭he director Reilly Dowd and producer and editor Juli Vizza were respectful about my decisions and my animations. They let me explore and have fun, while providing clear direction and communication.鈥�

The duo worked remotely for the past several years on the film with the producer, editor, director and film crew from across the U.S.

鈥淥n a couple of occasions I鈥檝e even given my students the opportunity to assist projects I鈥檓 working on, providing them with actual industry experience,鈥� Kim said.

Kim and Lee recently collaborated on a Boston Lyric Opera film.

Dreams of Daraa tells the story of Hanadi, a young Syrian mother who refuses to accept the cards she鈥檚 been dealt. The partly-animated film follows her five-year journey through Syria, Jordan and Germany in search of justice for her kidnapped husband and safety for her three daughters. As the dream that was her life in Daraa morphs into a living nightmare, Hanadi is forced to flee. In the world鈥檚 largest Syrian refugee camp, she feels both alone and unheard. Enter Timea, a stranger who breaks through the isolation and changes everything. Her ability to make Hanadi鈥檚 traumatized child feel safe鈥攁nd feel joy鈥攆or the first time in years, opens a window for Hanadi to see the possibility of not only a profound human connection, but a future for her and her girls. Leading to a rare invitation to testify before the UN, this intimate story explores the power of female friendship and the determination of one unexpected hero to be heard.
