World Building | drawing it in

Think about the last movie you watched or book you read where you said to yourself: 'I want to live there.'

When we were small wonder | wander | women, we often pretended to be space knights or Bene Gesserit. Harry Potter or Game of Thrones seem so magnetic because the creators are masters of world-building. But how does someone build a world that doesn't exist?

featured animation

This week's pick is the Oscar nominated film, Song of the Sea - a spellbinding ale bursting with magic, humor, and heart.

This animated feature film follows the story of a 10-year-old Irish boy named Ben (David Rawle) who discovers that his mute sister Saoirse, whom he blames for the apparent death of his mother, is a selkie who has to free faerie creatures from the Celtic goddess Macha.

Directed and co-produced by Tomm Moore.

The original music for the film was composed by Bruno Coulais, in collaboration with the Irish group, Kíla. The film also features songs by Nolwenn Leroy. A soundtrack album, consisting of 25 songs from the film, was released digitally on 9 December 2014, by Decca Records.

May this inspire and ignite more magic in us all!
