Writers always put themselves into their work, be they articles, reviews, and especially fiction. The stories we tell are a part of us, they’re our personality, our inner most desires, and our greatest wishes. What “A Work in Progress” does is feature a storyteller in search of her own friend. She’s a girl who sits watching many other children play while she’s forced to basically write and create her own characters. And wouldn’t you know it, she begins to tell the sad story of a brown bear in search of a friend.

Stories can bring people together, and it can also inspire our minds to wander into other worlds, meanwhile, our storyteller learns that sometimes just to find friends, you have to basically be yourself and not try so hard. “A Work in Progress” not only has a very positive message, but it also teaches children what incredible things writing can evoke, all the while Ball enlists a terrific score, paired with a very sweet performance by Melissa White that make it fit a feature length fantasy film. Hell, I’d watch it.

Ball's experimental short film is a wonderful mini-fantasy that holds two very positive messages about friendship and imagination, paired with great acting, a beautiful score, and very charming animation.
