The Mangrove Maiden
These visuals are from the pitch packet and teaser trailer I created for my senior film pitch! "The Mangrove Maiden" is a re-telling of the classic Little Mermaid story, set in a South American mangrove forest and starring a cheerfully chubby mer-manatee named Bubbles.
The pitch ultimately wasn't greenlit, but I still hope to someday bring Bubbles to life.
