While Pixar and Guillermo del Toro prepare separate projects on the Day of the Dead, three seniors from the Ringling College of Art and Design are making their own short film about the Mexican holiday. Day of the Dead follows a young girl who discovers the holiday’s true meaning: “to celebrate the lives of lost love ones rather than mourn their passing.” Filmmakers Ashley Graham, Lindsey St. Pierre and Kate Reynolds are using Kickstarter to fund a musical score for their film, set to premiere online this fall. Thus far, they have exceeded their goal of $1,000 by raising $2,327 – with nine days still remaining in the campaign!
