Hello, my name is Jacob Frey.

2
00:00:02,541 --> 00:00:05,958
I'm the director of the short film
<i>Going Home,</i> and this is take one.

3
00:00:08,250 --> 00:00:12,000
Um, yeah, so, this is a movie slate
that I actually built with my father

4
00:00:12,083 --> 00:00:14,041
when I was around five years old,

5
00:00:14,125 --> 00:00:16,916
and I sawed it myself, painted it,

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,750
and, uh, this actually was supposed to be
a birdhouse at first,

7
00:00:19,833 --> 00:00:22,041
where even here,
the drawing on it, on the back.

8
00:00:22,125 --> 00:00:24,083
But I was like,
"I don't wanna build a birdhouse,

9
00:00:24,166 --> 00:00:25,708
"I wanna make a movie slate."

10
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:30,708
<i>I've been living in the United States now</i>
<i>for five years.</i>

11
00:00:30,791 --> 00:00:32,958
<i>When I go home to visit my hometown,</i>

12
00:00:33,041 --> 00:00:35,916
<i>I slowly start to see a change</i>
<i>in the environment.</i>

13
00:00:37,083 --> 00:00:38,250
Something feels off.

14
00:00:38,333 --> 00:00:42,916
And the more often I actually go home
and visit family and friends,

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,916
<i>the more stuff changes.</i>

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,583
And the sad thing is that it's not just
the set that changes and the environment,

17
00:00:48,666 --> 00:00:49,666
but it's also the people.

18
00:00:51,708 --> 00:00:54,916
<i>I'm super thankful that my parents</i>
<i>constantly supported me,</i>

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,166
<i>starting as a kid.</i>

20
00:00:56,250 --> 00:00:59,291
I mean, I've done my first animation test
with them together

21
00:00:59,375 --> 00:01:02,416
while they were staged as actors
in my shorts.

22
00:01:04,333 --> 00:01:08,458
<i>In the end, I made it to Disney</i>
<i>from a small town in Germany,</i>

23
00:01:08,541 --> 00:01:12,166
which blows my mind, and I get to work
with all these talented people.

24
00:01:12,250 --> 00:01:15,125
And, uh, I would have never expected
that that's possible.

25
00:01:16,541 --> 00:01:19,333
<i>What's very unique about</i> Short Circuit
<i>is that it can be any type of story.</i>

26
00:01:19,416 --> 00:01:23,000
It could be funny, it could be sad.
That's such a broad spectrum.

27
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:25,000
<i>With this program, we're really capable</i>

28
00:01:25,083 --> 00:01:27,708
<i>of pushing the boundaries</i>
<i>of what we've known so far.</i>

29
00:01:29,750 --> 00:01:31,000
<i>Thank you so much.</i>

30
00:01:31,083 --> 00:01:34,875
I really hope you enjoy my short,
<i>Going Home,</i> and that's it.
