“A longing to wander tears my heart, when I ear trees rustling in the wind at evening”
“Veins of Life” is a poetic adaptation of a passage from Hermann Hesse’s Bäume: Betrachtungen und Gedichte (Trees: Reflections and Poems) that celebrates life and nature. At the center of the story is Sayuri, who yearns to reconnect with her inner self. This longing brings her back to the forest of her childhood memories and dreams.
We are happy to announce that out movie Fear has been selected as a finalist in the 2017 MY HERO International Film Festival.
Daymoe Beatz composed and shared this amazing track with the ElephantTribe after getting inspired by watching our Films.

“A red umbrella drifts lonely through the forest, dancing its way around the trees.
A little girl is lying curled up inside the umbrella. She watches with pure facination stars and the tops of trees float across the deep night sky. The stars move so fast it is impossible to count them.
Suddenly a big shadow flashes past in front of her view. Perplexed Zarina sits up inside her umbrella and looks around. Nothing… As she looks back in front of her, she shudders at the sight of a big black crow sitting comfortably on the handle of her open umbrella.”
“The blink of an eye, gentle blowing of the hair, the first uncertain step…. and she lives! Animation is a miraculous process. It is a tale of birth and growth. Does one feel like God, when the slightest move of their hand determines whether the character smiles or frowns, how bright the sun shines and at which speed the autumn leaf falls on the ground? Creating animation is a humbling experience. It is a privilege, yet a big responsibility. You become responsible for every line you draw, every color you spill, every frame you extend. And …. I have to admit, at times it feels like a house full of restless toddlers crawling uncontrollably in all directions. You get hold of one of them and another one slips out of your hands! And yet in this house of madness, when a child utters their first word or takes the first step, it warms your heart and moves you deeply. Every single time. That is how I feel about the fascinating and fantastic world of animation…. “

Sometimes with
the bones of the black
sticks left when the fire
has gone out
someone has written
something new
in the ashes of your life.
You are not leaving.
Even as the light fades quickly now,
you are arriving.
