In today's episode, I interview Nina Gantz, whose film "Wander to Wonder" was nominated for Best Animated Short Film at the 97th Academy Awards.

Listen to hear about the original even darker version of the story that never made it to the screen, some thoughts about how you can tell stories in animation that you can't tell anywhere else, and how eyelids can become one of the biggest challenges on a film set.
