Dangun

Directed by Crestwood 4th & 5th Graders
Narrative Short
United States | 8 min | 2022

The mythical foundation of the first kingdom of Korea, animated and retold by the 4th and 5th grade students of Crestwood Elementary school in Madison, WI.

In this time period we are living in right now it is easy to be cynical. I want to rebel against that. This story is about a dog who meets a ghost who tries to scare him but the dog doesn’t see the ghost as scary but as a fellow living being.
