ETERNAL (2026)

2D Digital animation, short film

Between what the mind forgets and what the heart remembers, a granddaughter takes a journey down memory lane, tracing the quiet onset of her grandmother’s cognitive decline. As she watches her grandmother become trapped within the very mind that once built their shared history, identity and time become lost in translation. Yet, through the silence of this fading landscape, a traditional maternal lullaby emerges as an unbreakable bridge, translating a lifetime of love into a lingering, indestructible peace.

​The Palm Witch (2021)

3D animation​, short film


​​Logline: A 3D animated film about two friends who set off in the old city of Riyadh, looking for their lost pet while an evil night witch comes after them.
​
     The concept of the night witch is inspired by the famous Saudi mythical creature, the Palm Tree Witch, that is told by older generations to encourage kids to come home early. Elders warn that the witch is known to kidnap children wandering after dark. This film takes us on a journey of exploring loneliness after separation between friends, and the innocence and importance of pure friendship. Sara and Nora’s fear of the night witch while being out late brings on their downfall when they most need each other. The Palm Witch is made using Autodesk Maya for modeling, animation and rendered using Arnold. Substance Painter is used for texturing, and Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for titles and 2D effects. After Effects, Nuke and Premiere for editing and compositing.

​Story, animation, modeling texturing, compositing and editing by Hala, and music by Aaron Moore. ​
