Meet the Filmmaker
What is their why?
Karis Oh is an illustrator/2D animator who believes in the power of a good story that inspires people to look at the world in broader perspectives. This belief of hers has led Karis to pursue directing animated films and teaching aspiring artists.
“The Moment” was Karis’s student thesis film. The story is about the importance of the things unseen. Her main inspiration for the story was a TED Talk called “What Really Matters at the End of Life” by BJ Miller.

Talk about an eye opener. This film had me listening to the different sounds along with the visuals of the video. Attempting to relate what he is describing to a job or a career that he is describing. As well as comparing it to my own as if to say could he be like me. Then she finishes the sketch and that too is left to ones imagination. Yet the end says to you it’s not always how you may think.
This film, under three minutes, has given me more to think about than most films 25 times as long. Thank you.
At the end, I was left with a wow. No other words would work. Thank you.
It was simply beautiful and thoughtful.
