This was an almost impossible recipe at the beginning
- Create a simple 3 act story
- Base around one or two characters
- Under a minute in length
- Simple world/environment
- Symbolism
- Meaning/theme
- Beautiful
- Strong, relateable character
- Incorporate an animal?
- Don’t settle for something silly that I will lose interest in.
