KID WONDER
This program has now concluded.
Denver Digerati embraces the spirit of youth as an entry point into the visual splendor that a wide swath of digital motion art and animation can deliver to captivate all audiences. Kid Wonder emerged in 2014 in the early stages of Denver Digerati’s development through Friday Flash, a monthly showcase of digital animation displayed on downtown Denver’s prominent 14th and Champa LED screen. As more artists and larger enterprises leverage digital tools for entertainment, storytelling and just plain fun, this program has long been a cornerstone of the Supernova Festival, under various incarnations and eventually serving as the genesis of the student shorts competition. 7th Dimension brings forward another slate of works that all audiences should appreciate and embrace in both a personal and communal capacity.

Flour & Mush

Starting the production in 2019 Hong Kong, I hope that I could find ways to communicate the troubled times and to create meaning.

His happiness is completed when he does all these to Mush. A pack of rats appear and attack Flour, causing him to disappear.
