'Grandma Rosi' is an animated short about a grandma who goes on a special
little trip. Entirely animated in Photoshop, every frame is hand-painted and
rendered frame by frame. a jaw-dropping piece of animation.

"Even though I also just liked the image of a grandma taking mushrooms, the
inspiration for the film was the specific feeling of reconnecting with a more playful, curious and joyful part of yourself that's been asleep for a long time". - Maya McMahon
