'For You' is a heartfelt letter from a father to his two-year-old son, capturing a summer day in the park, a world filled with wonders yet to be discovered and a looming danger. Set in Peckham, South East London, the director narrates the story in Italian, the language he has spoken to his son since birth. This project is deeply intimate and personal, yet carries a universal and resonating message: what lies ahead might be uncertain, but with love, courage, and imagination, we can create a better future.

About the author
Luca Paulli (UK) My name is Luca, and I am an Italian animation director based in the UK working in short films and advertising. My journey began at Slinky Pictures, a London animation studio, where I had the opportunity to work with incredible talented people like Maria Manton, Chris Shepherd, Chris Morris and David Shrigley among others. During my time at Slinky I gained valuable experience across the animation process, from storyboarding to character design to post-production. In 2014 I joined Picasso Pictures as one of their directors. During my time at Picasso I had the invaluable experience of pitching on multiple projects and collaborating with others talents in storyboards, visuals and character designs. In recent years I collaborated with Bafta winning producer Richard Barnett directing a short film for the ‘Glasses for Classes’ campaign, dedicated to improving the lives of millions of children worldwide suffering poor eyesight. My latest short film, ‘For You’, is an intimate and deeply personal project dedicated to my son.
