ARTIST STATEMENT
Echoes of Time is a short trailer-style film that follows the journey of a young girl who is granted a mysterious power by the gods: the ability to travel through time. Eager to understand her gift, she tests it for the first time, only to sense that something isn’t quite right. Seeking answers, she ventures into the future and is shocked by what she finds: a version of herself misusing the power for personal gain, stealing instead of helping. Confused and disturbed by this vision, she is faced with a critical choice: accept this as her inevitable path, or take action to change it. In the end, she chooses to confront her future and set things right.

ARTIST INTRODUCTION
Good Sleep Productions, made up of a small team of five dedicated artists and animators, came together with a shared passion for storytelling and visual creativity. Over the course of several months, we poured our skills into crafting a short film that blends compelling narrative with unique artistic style. From concept art and storyboarding to animation, sound design and post-production, every frame was a collaborative effort. Despite our small size, we strived to bring big ideas to life, and this film represents not just our technical abilities but our love for the craft and the stories we want to tell.
