What if Yorkshire was a Studio Ghibli Film?

A small experiment in cinematic storytelling, shooting the Yorkshire landscape as if it belonged in an animated world. Filmed around Arthington Viaduct, Knaresborough, and Hebden Bridge, the framing and atmosphere is inspired by the work of Studio Ghibli and the vision of Hayao Miyazaki.
