Finding Family was inspired by the life story of a young man who shared experiences of being separated from his siblings and managing difficult relationships at home. The transcript was re-worked into a brief by project researchers and shared with a group of 2nd year animation students at UCLan. Margaret Vanderlaan, Tong Cao, Hayley Covell and Jacob Bentley worked together to produce a short animation based on the brief as part of their undergraduate coursework. Their 30-second animation aims to connect with a wide audience and may be of particular interest to older children and young people who have experienced separation from members of their family.
