Anya.

"Anya" is a gentle four-minute animation about the life of a Russian orphan. With highly stylized children who look not unlike some popular dolls, "Anya" comes from Brown Bag Films, Ireland's premier animation shop. It is expertly crafted.

"Anya" is promoting "From Russia with Love," a Clontarf, Ireland-based charity that places abandoned and orphaned Russian children. If it looks a bit like an ad, that's because it derived from plans for one. However, "Anya" is more than just a spot and stands on its own as a work of art.

The writer and director is Damien O'Connor. He traveled to the Russian orphanage "From Russia with Love" to learn about the children and their lives. This is about helping the children, not making money. We're happy to get the word out a little bit here. Anyone is free to donate to support their good work, of course, as indicated at the end of the video.

We also show the behind the scenes process of making this particular video here. You might want to take a peek at that page if the video really grabs you.

The animation is special to the children at the orphanage. Perhaps you will enjoy it, too.

Dream big, little one.
