Animated Short Film Tree's Blood BTS

Behind the scenes and making of "Tree's Blood" from Reel Start and #ExceptionalMinds. Talent and dedication have led our artists to creative breakthroughs. In 2023, EM’s graduates worked on some of the most ambitious projects in our history, including Tree’s Blood, an animated short made in partnership with Paramount and Nickelodeon Studios. The production, a collaboration with Reel Start, a nonprofit founded by producer Evan Goldberg (Superbad, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, The Boys), premiered at Nickelodeon Studios in December 2023. It was an exciting night for the EM artists and the whole EM family.
