In Shapes

Blue Zoo Short

2-minute short film for social media

Born from the single word brief “puberty”, BZ animator Zoé Risser won our internal pitching competition that led to her directing this #BZShorts film, In Shapes.

The film is an emotive and poignant mixed-media animation exploring the insecurities of a girl at the swimming pool. Created in portrait specifically for social media, the aim of the film is to empower young people who feel insecure about their appearance.

The film has resonated with lived experience worldwide, resulting in hundreds of millions of views across Instagram, YouTube Shorts and TikTok.
