Drawn Closer

When COVID-19 cancelled Thurman White Middle School?s play, Cox found a way to bring students together. Working with an Academy Award winning director, we reimagined the play as an animated short, voiced and performed by the students. The result was Drawn Closer, a heartfelt story of a school play in trouble, and a drama class determined to save it. In the film, it's the opening night of the play and everything seems to be going wrong. From technical hiccups, to wardrobe malfunctions, to a star stuck at home with a broken leg, no one knows how it will all come together.
