It was an honor for me to direct my first animation piece for MPC and RPA for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation to educate pediatric cancer kids about surgery procedures in an uplifting and entertaining way. This short is part of a 20 film series that features a group of characters called the Imaginary Friend Society, that helps educate kids on cancer treatments in a way that’s engaging and easy to understand. Surgery is a short animation lead by Ralph, an imaginary friend part-hippo part-mountain-goat, that will help guide kids through the challenging world of pediatric cancer treatment.
