Kensuke's Kingdom
Role: Assistant Art Director
KENSUKE’S KINGDOM tells the story of Michael, who is taken by his family on a round-the-world sailing trip. When a storm strikes, he and his beloved dog Stella are washed overboard and end up on a remote island in the Pacific where they struggle to survive. Following a close-run battle between life and death, the mysterious Japanese stranger – Kensuke – reluctantly allows Michael into his world and they begin to form a friendship. A thrilling adventure story with a poignant ecological message, KENSUKE’S KINGDOM will resonate with audiences across the world. I worked with the great guidence of Art Director, Michael Shorten.
