Production
Keane initially said the following when he heard about the possible collaboration: "When I first looked at the phone and saw how small the screen was, I thought this wasn’t going to be for me...I realize now that I was wrong on that."
An interactive version allowed viewers to "follow either character or examine the various settings from various angles depending on how they moved their phones".
Plot
The film is "a hand-drawn, lyrical look at the intertwined lives of a boy and a girl from birth to adulthood".
Critical reception
The film garnered an Annie Award nomination, and is currently short listed for an Academy Award nomination too.
