Big Questions

Short Film (Full Length) – 2022

A heartbreaking question lies at the centre of this award-winning animated short from Auckland director and animator Liam Maguren. It's bedtime on a school night and a suburban dad struggles to respond to his daughter's anxiety about the rapid pace of climate change. His reply comes in the form of a small but monumental change to their day. Big Questions took out the top prize at the 2022 48Hours film contest. Longtime entrant Maguren, — who is also a critic for website Flicks — was named Best Director, and was nominated for his animation. The dad and daughter roles are voiced by Dan Desmond and Emma Smart.
