To Slay the Covid-dragon

Writer and director Joey Jones and the team at Ayzenberg Studios in the US wanted to honor the tireless work performed by essential workers around the world during the conovirus pandemic. 

And so, they channeled their creativity to come up with “How The Covid-dragon Disappears” in order to raise money for Direct Relief, a non-profit that help provide personal protective equipment and essential medical items to healthcare workers on the frontlines.

In this short animation, a young boy living in a world of fear, realizes that he can play an important part in helping to slay the scary Covid-dragon and draws a story to go with it. 

The story, which is told as a lilting poem, imagines a brave knight in shining armor riding off in his quest to make the world safe again as everyone in the community does their part at home.
