I knew right away that I wanted to contribute my voice to what I thought looked like a very promising short film. This assembly happened during the pandemic lockdown in Quebec, so the presentations were all virtual.ĭespite seeing everything virtually, the quality of artistry that went into both the animatic and the early designs was obvious to me. Colin was looking to assemble what would become the core team on the project. Hubert: I was introduced to the film’s director, Colin, through a mutual friend of ours.

We should always stay young at heart, even as adults, and grow with the memories of the people that bring us joy. My intention as a director was to put forward the importance of imagination in our daily lives.

We wanted to create a beautiful and nostalgic short film for all ages. We follow the story of Jaco, a widowed father who defies the authorities while trying to instill a sense of wonder into his daughter’s life. What is D’où viennent les lapins about, and what should viewers take away from the film?Ĭolin: The film is set in a world where imagination is outlawed. That’s when Studio Niloc started developing the project in 2019. With that in mind, I started writing the story, tackling a father-daughter relationship in a world where imagination was forbidden. Through that experience, I felt a new range of emotions and imperishable memories that blossomed. But the primary inspiration for the film was my experience as a father. I thought it was a beautiful realm to explore. What inspired the story for D’où viennent les lapins?Ĭolin: I’ve always been inspired by the world of magic, in film history as well as in history in general.
