Hazel Wang is a 28-year-old animator from Guangzhou, China. After earning a degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, she moved to the United States to study animation. Her work grows out of personal memory and slowly opens into reflections on life and responsibility. Cam Duska is a 23-year-old writer, animator, and director from a small town in Rhode Island. They began their education in Philadelphia before moving to Southern California to pursue their dream of animating professionally.
