ABOUT AMY & SOPHIA

• Breakthrough new use of watercolor animation in feature film.

• 1st time Julian Glover & his wife, Isla Blair, have been on screen together in 25 years. 

• Director, Adam Lipsius, has been growing his beard since shooting started on March 5th, 2016. 
He now looks like a ZZ Top back-up singer, but he vowed not to shave it off til the movie got its premiere.
Now he looks like he's keeping it... He likes it.

• The production was reduced to one working light and resorted to filming almost everything with
battery-powered LED bike lights after a small flood washed through set on the third night of shooting.

• Sneaking into a national park to film the fantasy sequences, every member of the crew had to
nonchalantly walk a large piece of gear past curious park wardens. 
When they discovered everyone filming, they had a great laugh about it. 

• This project faced setbacks every step of the way, but the message and the touching performances
provided just enough motivation to see it through to completion.

• The film has been endorsed by groups fighting against child abuse, bullying and sexual violence.
It is intended to help abuse victims heal.
