The Tailor's Kiss - 2005

The Tailor's Kiss is a 10 minute puppet animation film and it tells the story of a lonely tailor who despairs at the results of his terrible curse.
It is my Animation Direction MA graduation film at the National Film and Television School, and it is also my debut as a Film maker. It has been around the world in many festivals and won best short animation film award at the Short Ends World Film School Festival.

The Tailor's Kiss é uma curta metragem de animação de marionetas com 10 minutos, e que conta a história de um alfaiate solitário que desespera perante os resultados da sua terrível maldição.
É o meu filme de graduação, realizado no âmbito do Mestrado em Realização de Cinema de Animação pela National Film and Television School, e representa também a minha estreia como realizadora. Tem corrido o mundo em bastantes festivais e ganhou o prémio de melhor curta de animação no Short Ends World Film School Festival.
