The process of making a hand-painted animated ‘Haiku’ is a many-houred labor of love, and Christine Banna is explaining her collaborative process with Katelyn Park as she takes this urgent film to film festivals across the U.S. this year. All hail the made-by-hand beauty and collaborative art-making!
