Description
Because Maya’s dad is always traveling, they keep in touch via nightly calls, creating stories in which she is the star. Because Maya’s dad is also renowned filmmaker Michel Gondry, we get these stories in all their inventive, stop-motion glory.
Paper cutouts bring their shared stories to life in a series of vignettes, many with a wink and nod to the fourth wall. Maya’s dad uses his trademark wit, whimsy, and mixed media to tell tales about mermaids, volcanoes, and anything else the two dream up. Clearly crafted with great care, Maya, Give Me a Title serves as a love letter to animation, filmmaking, parenting, and storytelling.
