DESCRIPTION:You would have noticed how films are becoming unbearably redund
 ant and senseless\, as if the creators behind them have forgotten how to b
 e human. I do not mean the workers of the mindless money-making machines\,
  though. The only remnants of spirit you can find are carried in the hands
  of a few who aspire to revive the forgotten soul of film and animation. E
 specially the rising younglings who try to get their way in this chaotic i
 ndustry.  As an animation and film student\, I have been in awe of how nu
 mb our world has become to exploring its cultural past and making it shine
 ! I was brought up in a place where national culture in daily life is as p
 rominent as ever but with its cool new ways\, like riding horses in the mo
 untains while texting. Just imagining such a scene is inspiring\, but how 
 about sharing such stories where culture meets modern and even future ways
  of living?  At least from my experience\, these ideas catch interest but
  get turned down. Why so? Many believe something locally inspired cannot b
 e sold or messed with to not turn it into cultural appropriation. But... i
 t just requires research\, which has to be done no matter what you do\, so
  the barrier is all just mental. This year\, I saw a change. More and more
  local and cultural media are getting recognition at festivals. As if our 
 inner worlds\, which are bound to our mysterious cultural past\, are final
 ly rising as a new force. They are finally taking over and letting us reco
 nnect with whatever we cut ties with long ago through personal local stori
 es.  Pitching over and over these ideas has taught me how to trick the sy
 stem and write smarter. Have I succeeded in getting my horseriding texters
  of the mountains into mainstream media? Not for now. Will I manage to inf
 luence you to explore your ancestral gift and make something that will las
 t until the end of time? Maybe.  So hop on in\, and let’s find what’s
  cooking inside our invisible bonds with a fresh touch of modernity.
