Animated short film, 'Stand Alone'
Animation by Mary Catherine Wilbur & Soyeon Kim
Music by Karen Tanaka
Edit by Todd Hemker & Soyeon Kim
Stand Alone is a quiet, personal reflection on what it means to keep moving—alone—through life’s uncertainties. Following the meandering path of a snake, the film becomes a mirror for our own inner journeys, where direction is unclear, and every step is shaped by instinct, struggle, and small, hard-won wisdoms. In a world that often overwhelms with noise and disconnection, Stand Alone finds strength in solitude and beauty in persistence. It’s a meditation on becoming—on learning to trust yourself and to claim your place in a world that’s always shifting beneath your feet.
