Frida
An intimately raw and magical journey through the life, mind, and heart of iconic artist Frida Kahlo. Told through her own words for the very first time.
We animated Frida’s paintings, drawings and letters to help tell her story in a vibrant, colorful way. We also colorized and animated archival material to further bring the audience into Frida’s world.
