Animated movie: Little Lights

Hey guys! Today I am promoting this interesting animation movie by our very own Rivelle Mallari. ( Let's support our local artist!!)

This is a story about a firefly who happened to be born with a much dimmer light than the other. A physically week yet a strong minded firefly named Charlie is forced to overcome his fears but also to find his place in his discord-riddled firefly community. But, in spite of his own weaknesses and the indifference of his fellow fireflies, Charlie sets out to become stronger, eventually leading his loved ones to safety when danger arises.

A story that will be told using a combination of unique and visual musical artisty, the aim of this movie is to inspire to find their own light and to not be afraid to share it. Little Lights is a passion project that started with two artists, Rivelle Mallari and Regie Espiritu, who envisioned telling a story by combining the art of animation and a musical scoring.
