“Return To Sender”
“Return To Sender” is a short movie that Vilma Olsson, 3rd-year Graphic Design & Media student at Marbella Design Academy, presented as her final project!
The film “Return to Sender” takes the viewer back, with a touch of nostalgia, to the olden days, when posting letters was the main means of communication over distance.
Very much inspired by Wes Anderson and Annie Atkins, Vilma created the original film script and her initial storyboards, she built the film set and the many physical props (stamps, passports, packets of cigarettes), as well as created all the animations for the movie (all of which were hand drawn).
With the help of a few Marbella Design Academy students, she then filmed, and eventually edited the movie including her animations, and added her own original soundtrack.
She also created a production company brand “Do Not Disturb” to make her project look even more realistic, as well as an advertising campaign to promote her short movie.
Not only did Vilma graduate with a 1st-Class with Honours grade, but her film is also part of Think Shorts official selection 2022.
If you have a spare 7 minutes, we invite you to sit down, relax, and enjoy a moment of nostalgia with “Return to Sender”
