Piper

Released Year: 2016
Directed by Alan Barillaro

Story:

A flock of sandpipers hunt for food at a seashore, rushing to peck at the sand when the wave recedes and retreating when it comes in. One baby is encouraged by her mother to join the flock, but she fails to retreat in time and is drenched by the incoming surf. The incident leaves the baby terrified of the water; she refuses to leave the nest, but soon notices a group of hermit crabs digging into the sand to find deeper food and keep from being buffeted by the tide. By copying their behavior, she starts to see the beauty of the underwater world and becomes skilled at discovering food for the flock.

Even though this is only a 6 mins short film, but it spends the director 3 years to create it~ wow! Its cute and quite meaningful. From here, we can learn that, without taking a step ahead, we shall never know what is lied in front of us. Be brave and take the challenge :)
