A little background information...

Hart’s Desire was my graduation film from Edinburgh College of Art. The film was developed through my own uncertainties about the perfect life in a world that offers both technology and nature, both sociability and solitude. At times I crave all of these things so the film, like me, is unable to say which is best, nor does it attempt to.

How was the film made?

Hart’s Desire is a fully 2D digital film although a certain crafted, natural aesthetic has been attempted in order to complement the film’s tone, themes and setting.
