Little t is a powerful, dialogue-free short film that explores the emotional impact of the inner critic and the quiet weight of everyday trauma. With striking visuals and heartfelt symbolism, the film has resonated deeply with audiences and mental health advocates alike.

Being recognized among such iconic names in the animation industry highlights the growing impact of independent voices in the field—especially those championing personal, emotionally driven storytelling.
