A child whose grandmother has died wonders where grandmas go when they get lost. Perhaps they walk together to a secret land, grow into giants, and become trees, icebergs and mountains. Léo Cannone built it from storyboards drawn about fifteen years earlier, generating stills in Midjourney, animating them in Runway and finishing in After Effects and DaVinci Resolve, and submitted it in the last 24 hours before the deadline. TechCrunch reported one of the night's loudest rounds of applause. An Honoree at [Runway's second AI Film Festival](https://aifilmhistory.org/entry/aiff-2024), and the start of a run that led to [Costa Verde](https://aifilmhistory.org/entry/costa-verde).
