Francisca Castañeda

Visual artist, 2D animator. As a storyteller I find that some stories need certain visuals to be told, as such I have an interest in animation, illustration, comics, and other forms of visual art to help me better deliver my message to the world. I love characters with whom I can relate, worlds in where I can get happily lost and dream. I hope to one day cause the same sentiments movies and art give me, to other people.

Empathy. Flash short made in about a month.  I wanted to speak about how sometimes people erase the experiences of victims of any kind of trouble, because they make them uncomfortable or don’t fit their own narrow and, sometimes thankfully, ignorant views of the world.
