A Moment of Gratitude | "Willow" BTS

I'm going to practice some gratitude. Before we began producing the TV show, "Willow: House of Griots," there was "Willow: State of Emergency." I haven't done too well posting about this, but this short film picked up a good number of accolades over the past few years. It hardly dawned on me, until editing this poster.
