THE BRIDGE

We are thrilled to share this heartwarming animated short film, created in collaboration with Klick Health for PAWS NY. Based on a true tale of a life-saving bond, it highlights the importance of mental and animal health.

The Bridge was a unique challenge: creating an award-worthy, visually stunning film with a compelling story. Based on true events, the movie takes viewers on a thrilling journey, from the collaboratively developed script to the meticulously crafted visuals. Every detail was handled with care to deliver an immersive and emotional experience, and the result reflects the team's dedication to achieving a thoughtful and impactful look and feel.

“The film was inspired by a heartwarming true story I was told when riding the subway train during a difficult time in my life, shortly after losing my own dog. I knew from the beginning it would be a big challenge to create a fresh new aesthetic that could mimic the uneasy and depressing inner world and feelings of the characters in a film where color also plays a huge role in the narrative. After six months of hard work, I could not be prouder of the result, and more certain Lightfarm was the right partner to bring such an important story to the world”, said Bernardo Romero, Maker at Klick Health.

“We believe in the power of animation to tell human and complex stories, like The Bridge. Without dialogue, we relied on an animation style to tell these characters’ stories to communicate an important message about the mental health benefits pets can provide. Partnering with Lightfarm always results in delivering beautiful craft and powerful storytelling”, said Amy Fortunato, Creative Director at Klick Health.

“I am so grateful for my opportunities as a creative to generate content that inspires better health. Crafting unique but authentic characters and environments for The Bridge that reflect the emotional truth behind someone suffering from depression were crucial aspects of our storytelling. The second I saw the initial character design boards from Lightfarm, I knew it would be a beautiful partnership in making our vision a reality!” said Andrea Bistany, Creative Director at Klick Health.
