    Thank you for watching! I'm the director of Tindra's Light. I've been animating and drawing stories for the most part of my life. I've also been making a lot of music. After finishing work with this film I decided to withdraw from animation, and make way for more music production. I hope to create some more animation in the future, because I still have a lot of stories that I want to tell. But right now I need to take a long break and focus on my music career.
    This film was an incredible feat for me. One whole year of production, and months of preparations. I created nearly everything myself. Story, storyboarding, background painting, music, planning, animating etc. I'm also incredibly proud of keeping to the budget, and to the estimated time draft. Finally I can let go of this film, after 2 years of festivals. Now it's time for Tindra to live on here on UA-cam.
    Please take good care of her :)
    Best regards
    Andreas Paleologos a.k.a True Cuckoo
    ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
    The Norwegian voice cast was recorded in 2016, after the animation was complete. After announcing in the local newspaper in the west coast of the fjords of Norway, that I was looking for voice talents for my film, I was incredibly lucky to get hold of Frida and Johannes as the leading stars of the film. Since they are still children, and they're not with any agents, I won't post any contact information information to them. Although I believe Frida is very likely to continue with drama somehow. Perhaps she'll be making herself known to the world. She strikes me as an extraordinary talent.

    repost from the storyboard comparison video:
    Beautifully done Mr. C. - it is interesting to note that i think ALL of my musician friends are also visual artists, myself included. The backgrounds were particularly beautiful and an obvious labor of love, and the perspective framing at times was superb. And of course the story itself was completely sweet and endearing. Nicely done, and I appreciate all the hard work, alone no less, you put into it. Great job.

I want to, but it would require to focus on that for a few years, and do only that. I'm not sure I have the drive to pull off a feature film production.
