From Director Min-Young Oh:
-
The idea behind The Gravedigger’s Tale was to create a new and very personal take on the fairy tale genre. One that would be both emotional and thought provoking, and also, I hope, entertaining to a modern audience. I decided to use puppets because they are able to convey the characters’ emotions, which are so important to the story. I also feel that the use of stop motion and puppetry connects us with a more traditional style of storytelling and helps create the fable-like atmosphere. I wanted this film to be timeless- a delicate and thought provoking meditation on themes that affect us all, wherever we live or whatever our personal situations. I am deeply honored that “The Gravedigger’s Tale” has been selected by several Oscar qualified film festivals. I aimed to make a film that would speak to as many people as possible.
Thank you, Min-Young. We are sure the film will live on! -Dragonframe
