Joining the school of your dreams can be a difficult task, and sometimes turns into a living hell. This idea is the starting point of Try Hard, an animated short film from Gobelins (class of 2023).
Alex, an art student, dreams of joining Eve, the “Elite’s Visual School”. Together with her best friend Kimmy, they train hard to pass the notoriously impossible entrance exam. Alex’s training turns into an obsession, compromising her friendship with Kimmy.
This short film was directed by Audrey Chevrolle, Yuha Cho, Hugo Lemonnier, Brian Lim, Yuxi Zhou. You’ll find lots of various visual references in the film, including references to Attack on Titan and various famous animators.
