Meet "Threaded Together", a new short animated film from Escape Studios. Directed by Shauna Ludgate and produced by Manos Zervoudakis, Threaded Together tells the story of a needle who longs to be reunited with his friends.  The original score was composed by Maria Cortes-Monroy.

Threaded Together

Threaded Together was created by our third-year animation students, working together in a group as part of the Studio Project PR6001.  Group project work is at the heart of what we do at Escape Studios, one of the five pillars of the "Escape Method".

Directed by Shauna Ludgate and produced by Manos Zervoudakis, Threaded Together tells the story of a needle who longs to be reunited with his friends.
