It is a celebration of filmmaking, and a demonstration of what can be accomplished from within a home studio, by just one person. The Wishing Well is a combination of live action and 3D animation.

Sweet little movie.

This is a sweet little movie and I really loved it. I had the good fortune to be invited to a private screening and highly recommend this to anyone else who has the opportunity. Go if you get the change -- you'll love it. Also, note that all the costumes and characters were created and play by the writer/director. It's amazing! He wrote it, directed it and filmed it all by himself. He applied all the prosthetics himself and filmed it. I'm thrilled to see something this sweet and creative and I heartedly recommend anyone who can to see it. It should win all sorts of awards for creativity and individuality. Join me in praising it when you see it.

impressive and clever

I discovered this movie from the iPad app with a similar name (wishing well pop up movie & game, which is fun, my son loves it). The filmmaker shows off some impressive skills here. And he does it in the telling of a very simple, entertaining story. This guy appears to be a one-man shop, no crew, apparently, which is also impressive when you consider all the technical aspects that the film requires. Making it must have been incredibly time consuming, since he was also the sole actor as well as director. I guess on the upside, what you lose in the collaboration process you also gain with no one telling how to do something. Well worth watching.
