KIDS FIRST!® Adult Juror Comments:

An animated short of a story that originated as a radio play that tackles the issue of how a comma is used. It takes on the question of "how to tell a story," the idea of self-worth, individualism, fitting in, disappointment, perseverance, qualify of life, introspection and asking for help. These are all issues that we, as humans deal with but since the subject of the film is a comma, it takes on a humorous tone. Well written, well narrated, it holds your interest from beginning to end. At 24 minutes, it's perhaps a big long but makes some great talking points and is so well made, you're sure to enjoy it.
