Ada

Stranded on an arctic island with a dying man in 1921, an Alaskan seamstress must overcome her fears of the wilderness and find the strength to survive if she ever hopes to return home to her son. Inspired by the true story of Ada Blackjack. As part of the BZ Shorts programme, Ada is the short film directed by Dane Winn and rendered entirely in Unreal Engine. With the brief to tell a captivating true story in Unreal Engine, the team devised this graphite-style to give the film a raw appeal that doesn’t look like it was made in a game engine.
