That’s a wrap on Laika Howl! 🐺

For the past year, this film has been built through long nights, endless revisions, problem solving, laughter, stress, memories, and a whole lot of teamwork. As we close this chapter, our director wanted to share a few words with the people who made it all possible:

Jack @jac.ktrew: "Laika Howl wouldn’t be possible without our crew! Thank you to the out-of-class contributors, the in-house crew, the leads, and Professor Ashwin @polykraken for bringing the film to life. Good luck to our graduating members, and we hope you take the skills you’ve learned here into the industry."

Over the last year, this crew has learned, navigated challenges, celebrated successes, and grown together as artist and collaborators. Every person on this team brought their talent, dedication, and passion to the project, and Laika Howl wouldn't be what it is without them.

Thank you to everyone who supported us along the way. We can't wait to share what's next.

Stay tuned for festival announcements and our trailer debut coming soon. 🐺🌙 by @laikahowlfilm

Laika Howl is just a kid trying to figure out who he is in a world that doesn’t always get him.
Loud. Dramatic. Space-obsessed. A little too much — and learning that’s okay. 🌕✨
