"That sense of play, that sense of wonder—it feels like it's in short supply and it's so important to fight for it."

In his @bafta nominated @locksmithanimation short film 'Cardboard', @jpvine invites us into a world of imagination where a simple box can become a spaceship, and your overwhelmed father has the choice to dwell on his fears or join you on an intergalactic adventure. In our interview Vine reveals how a family road trip across the Nevada desert and a personal childhood memory of homelessness inspired his emotionally resonant story.
