New Moon (2022) | Directed by Jérémie Balais, Raul Domingo, and Jeffig Le Bars

A still from the film NEW MOON.
4.5/5
Jérémie Balais, Raul Domingo, and Jeffig Le Bars’s New Moon is a lovely short film – beautifully animated and full of magic, vibrance, and wonder. Animation is a wonderful medium to use when adapting a one-person show and bringing it to life – it allows the performer to inhabit all of the characters in a slightly different manner than they would onstage or in a live-action film. While this might just be a short snippet, a short story, it is such a loving tribute to the performer’s (Coleman Domingo) mother and a wonderful reflection on opening yourself up to possibility.
