[Orphan] The First Line (1080p)

Orphan presents a very recent short anime, The First Line. Directed by 29-year-old wunderkind China, it portrays a young animator, Mito, who works at an old-line animation studio under an irascible director.

Mito (and his exhausted colleagues) are trying to finish the director's film, but Mito's inexperience and self-doubt plague his attempts to bring the final scene to life, until a vision of (or nightmare about) of his director renews his determination.

The short is a showcase for the talents of its director. See this blog entry for more details.
