'Bigger than you are' (OT 'Groter dan je bent') is a hand-drawn animated short film that explores questions about recovery and reframing one’s intimate childhood memories through a hopeful lens.

Tender atmosphere

Delicately animated pencil drawings emerge and evaporate through an associative narrative form. Supported by subtle piano music, ambient sounds and earnest writing, the film creates a gentle atmosphere to explore themes of questioning oneself, one’s past and one’s internal struggles. This entices the viewer to reflect on personal growth through a new lens. Can one cherish the innocence of the past, even if it might feel conflicting to look at?

Delicate and Subtle

'Bigger Than You Are' strives to innovate and broaden the existing visual language for stories about recovery. As such, the film stays far away from clichéd imagery with lots of dark, scary images. By focusing on universal pieces within human experiences in a delicate and subtle way, it makes a story about recovery accessible to a wide audience. 'Bigger Than You Are' seeks the balance between big and small, strength and vulnerability, volatility and presence, subtlety and clarity.
