HANDWRITTEN

I appreciate the creativity of Handwritten. The style and the message are my favorite elements. This is an animated short documentary. The filming technique uses a combination of puppetry, animation, and still photos to tell the story of Jaime Sunwoo and the impact of her handwriting on her life. I also appreciate the message conveyed in this short film about how something as simple as handwriting can tell a deeper story about who you are.

This film is a unique autobiography by Jaime Sunwoo and a personal reflection on the significance of handwriting - for herself and for others throughout history. It showcases the power of handwriting and how it can be a tool to dissect a person's personality, mood or emotions. It highlights how powerful our writing is and how it can speak to the place we are in life.

This film includes multiple production styles, and it's worthwhile viewing. It is a fun and unique topic. I like how the story progresses - it's a gradual slow burn and keeps the viewer wondering where this film is taking you. You're captivated and fully invested when you realize it is a short autobiography about handwriting. That approach to developing the report is impactful. There are some entertaining camera angles and animation pop-ups. The camerawork and animation give the film dimension and make it fun to watch. The writer of this film is also the subject and the director. It's impressive to see someone assume numerous roles in telling their own story. My favorite part is when they examine the different styles of handwriting and how you can begin to recognize a person based on their handwriting.

The message is to write in the way that you want to be. This has a deeper meaning. I think the director is trying to encourage people to be themselves and embrace all the unique facets of their identity.

I give Handwritten 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults. By Hanadie K., KIDS FIRST!

After discovering old diaries and notebooks, artist Jaime Sunwoo examines her shapeshifting penmanship and wonders why she's never had a consistent style. Through playful paper puppetry and animation, she reflects on what handwriting means to her personally, its significance throughout history, and its relevance in our computerized world.
