Indie Sales Boards Japanese Director Momoko Seto’s Epic Ecological Tale ‘Dandelion’s Odyssey’ (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comElsa Keslassy International Correspondent Indie Sales has acquired Japanese director Momoko Seto’s “Dandelion’s Odyssey,” an ecological fable animated by Guionne Leroy (“Toy Story”) and scored by Nicolas Becker (“Sound of Metal”) and Quentin Sirjacq.
Shot from Japan to Iceland, “Dandelion’s Odyssey” is an adventure set in a dystopian world and is reminiscent of “Microcosmos,” with plants and animals as the main characters.
The feature boasts a mix of timelapse photography, as well as live-action shooting and 3D animation. Most of the production is being done in France, where Seto is based.
Seto is best known for her shorts “Planet A,” “Planet Z” and “Planet ∑,” which played at Locarno and the Berlin Film Festival, respectively. “Dandelion’s Odyssey” follows the journey of four friends, Dendelion, Baraban, Léonto and Taraxa, who were rescued from a succession of nuclear explosions that destroyed the Earth and hurled into the cosmos.
