Here Be Giants

Abstract:

A young boy decides to follow in his grandfather's footsteps, embarking on a journey to find his place in the world. Dayu has traveled up to the high cliffs many times with his Grandfather, but this will be his first time going alone. No longer must he wait in the gondola to hear stories of what wonders lie ahead. A story about growing up, self-reflection and learning from those who came before while finding your own way in the world, Here Be Giants blends aspects of landscape mythology, familial relationships and temporality.
