Animated Borders:
Immigrant Stories in 3 Minutes
Immigrant Stories in 3 Minutes
We are Paula Henao and Dario Bolivar, two immigrant artists who came to New York four years ago chasing a dream: to tell stories that connect cultures.
Now, after years of collecting real experiences from people like us — dreamers, workers, survivors — we’re creating a series of animated short films that celebrate the courage behind every immigrant story.
This is not just a film project.
It’s how we continue our journey — and how we keep our story alive.
After being selected in a New York film festival, we realized we’re ready to take the next step: to expand this vision into a collective project.
Your contribution will help us:
Bring together immigrant storytellers and animators.
Produce the pilot episode and soundtrack.
Apply to new festivals and create a path toward a feature version.
Every dollar will directly support our ability to keep creating and living as filmmakers in the U.S.
Your help means continuity, hope, and creation.
