PRESS :
“One of the film’s animators, Carine Khalife – who brought the endometriosis monster to life – has endometriosis herself, and Lossgott explains how this helped convey genuine emotion.
The expressions of these metaphorical worlds were so important, and that they would viscerally land within the people watching,” says Lossgott. “I think that that expression, and the visceral nature of her artwork, that pain, and the feeling, and the anger within the expression of that really comes across, and really lands with you, as the viewer, in articulating a disease and a condition that is so incredibly hard to articulate and recognise.” DANDAD
