GROWING UP

HEIDI TAN / DARTMOUTH COLLEGE

What do you want to be when you grow up? I wanted to be an elephant dancer, or a jellyfish feeder or...

But what do you do when everything you've always wanted to do doesn't seem to work out?

ABOUT THE FILMMAKER: Heidi made her first foray into cartoon drawing when she was five – her older sister and her attempted to create an illustrated storybook series on the lives of two turtles. Fourteen years later and on a whim, she decided to take an animation class and ended up loving it.  Heidi grew up halfway around the world, in the sunny island-state of Singapore. She is currently a sophomore Psychology major and Education minor at Dartmouth College, but is still dabbling in film and animation.
