JUMPY

JUMPY lives to jump!  Animated in the style of a retro 16-bit video game, JUMPY tells the story of an in-game avatar who refuses to give up.

Being a gamer since the age of two, video games have always been a part of my life.  When I was feeling frustrated with career stagnation, I felt the maddening experience of playing an unbeatable video game was the perfect story metaphor.  However, I wasn’t prepared for what JUMPY would become.  Punctuated by Luminist’s beautiful score (written in just 2 days, by the way) Jumpy’s determination and hope resonated with people beyond my wildest hopes.  Jumpy reminds us all (including me) to just keep jumping!
