Jasper

Jasper is wild little girl who doesn’t come home when she’s supposed to and prefers a big sky over her head rather than a screen in front of her face. She doesn’t care what people think she should do or be. She just wants to fly - and she isn’t going to give up until she does. Jasper explores the idea that the dream of flight completely transcends gender.

A Cautionary Tail

A little girl is born with a tail that expresses her emotions. As a child, her parents celebrate their daughter's uniqueness and her tail inspires magical make-believe adventures with her friends. As she grows up, however, the young woman faces pressure to fit in, and must choose between conformity and self-expression. An animated short film starring Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett, using a striking collage of 3D animated characters and hand-made miniature sets.
