Wayfinder is a 2D animation short that plays in the setting of snowy Alaska.
It follows a young Inuit boy who likes to daydream and play rather than paying attention during his survival lessons. This is how he ends up separated from his group one day.
While playing in the snow the boy spots a frozen flower that catches his attention and pulls him deeper into a dense forest.
After realizing that he does not know where he is or how to get out he panics and gradually makes him slip into the feeling of helplessness and abandonment. How will a small boy like him ever find his way back?
