Window Horses :: Média

“A film that shows the value and reward of opening up one’s heart to different cultures, especially at a time when many chose to close them. And, a film that connects emotionally with its characters, which, though stylized in appearance, are fully dimensional.”

‘Window Horses’ – A Conversation with Ann Marie Fleming

-Skwigly, June 14th 2016

"Stick Girl’s minimalist aesthetic belies a much more complex character. She’s imbued with vitality and exuberance by her creator, Canadian filmmaker Ann Marie Fleming."
The Washington Post , Dec 19th 2014

"crowdfunding may become necessary for Canadian filmmakers as governments grow less willing to fund arts projects. She comments that without crowdfunding and Indiegogo, her film would not have seen the light of day." -- Ann Marie Fleming
Canculture , Dec 18th 2014

"The style and animation that we have seen so far is fantastic, and I think Stickgirl is perfectly positioned as the leading lady because she has the ability to be autobiographical yet universal through her simplicity and charm."
A kademie Solitude , Dec 15th 2014

"Something else I find compelling and relatable about WINDOW HORSES is that the narrative transcends specific cultures. For example, I don’t have personal ties to China, Canada or Iran, but as a multi-racial woman from the Caribbean – an intrinsically hybrid and culturally complex region – the protagonist Rosie Ming’s journey of discovery, exchange and understanding still resounds with me."
ARC , Dec 15th 2014

"This culturally rich film celebrates the beauty of diversity, and how it can be used to bring people together and affirm communities that are often under-represented."
Fresh Milk, Dec 15th 2014

"After an insightful and honest in conversation with Oh about her journey as an artist and creator, audience members were left feeling inspired, and with a deeper appreciation and understanding of Oh’s creative process and the importance of honouring oneself as an actor."
CFC, Dec 2nd 2014

"For Sandra, the project is a way to help make childrens entertainment in a way that reflects the real world" -- Roz Weston
"Girls who are mixed race, I want them to see themselves on screen." -- Sandra Oh
ET Canada, Nov 28th 2014

"Kids, families, adults will find a bit of themselves in this story."
Damnit Maurie, KISS 925, Nov 25th 2014

Sandra Oh talks about a new animated adventure
Breakfast Television, Nov 24th 2014

"It's quintessential Canadian" -- Leslie Roberts
The Morning Show on Global News, Nov 24th 2014

Through their indiegogo campaign, they hope to bring Rosie to life as a crowd funded independent feature film!
Asians on Film, Nov 20th 2014

Oh recently dropped by The Frame studios, where she talked about weeping upon finishing the 'Window Horses' graphic novel,
creating a movie outside of the big studios, and what it means to get this project made in light of the limited diversity in Hollywood.
KPCC, Nov 20th 2014

Currently raising funds on Indiegogo is an ambitious animated feature by filmmaker Ann Marie Fleming, Window Horses.
With a lead character voiced by Sandra Oh, the film uses the medium of poetry to explore ideas of cross cultural exchange.
Filmmaker Magazine, Nov 20th 2014

Oh says the Indiegogo campaign is just a start for Window Horses.
"What we are trying to do, in this kind of very independent grassroots kind of way, we just want to make the film."
Huffington Post Denver, Nov 19th 2014

"The topic of a mixed-race character seeking her identity was appealing," Oh says.
“The character, Rosie, is on her own journey, being Canadian, discovering her Chinese and Persian mix.”
Nikkei View, Nov 18th 2014

Project of the Day: Window Horses
Indiewire, Nov 17th 2014

The film, which Fleming also directs, is inspired by her time during an artist residency in Germany where she met international artists
who shared their stories of immigration, mixed cultures, and the re-discovering of one’s roots.
Team Yellow, Nov 8th 2014

A chat with Ann Marie Fleming, Bella and Pyrrha from Window Horses
The Seriously Grey's Podcast, Nov 7th 2014

"[A] unique cross-cultural, cross-generational coming-of-age story."
Angy Asian Man, Nov 6th 2014

On our radar: Window Horses
Thick Dumpling Skin, Nov 6th 2014

"Rosie Ming is not your average animated heroine. The two-dimensional stick figure, voiced by former Grey’s Anatomy star Sandra Oh, is the star of Window Horses,
an animated film about a young Chinese-Iranian-Canadian poet who goes to Iran for a poetry festival
and is confronted with new languages and a challenge to find her own voice separate of the world she grew up knowing."
NBC Asian America, Nov 5th 2014

Crowdfunding Project of the Week: Window Horses
Toronto Film Scene, Nov 3rd 2014

Former Grey’s Anatomy star Sandra Oh has partnered with Canadian director Ann Marie Fleming
to produce an animated feature called Window Horses: The Poetic Persian Epiphany of Rosie Ming.
Animation World Network, Oct 30th 2014

Oh says she finds the story about a young woman’s search for a sense of self through poetry—the actress is a lover of poetry—”deeply empowering” for girls and women.
Koream, Oct 30th 2014

"This story was born of my interest in cross-cultural and cross-generational fears, assumptions and misunderstandings that often accompany any kind of diaspora,
but at its core, it’s about a daughter’s search for her father while finding her own voice,” said Fleming.
“Crowdfunding on Indiegogo will help us to tell a story that we’ve been working on for some time, and is very close to our hearts.”
Culture Addicts, Oct 29th 2014

The Indiegogo campaign’s goal will cover animation costs for Fleming and fellow lead artist Kevin Landale and a larger team.
Animation Magazine, Oct 29th 2014

"Crowdfunding is a fantastic way for you to support Window Horses and become involved in the project at the same time."
Crowdfund Insider, Oct 28th 2014

“For me, it was like, ‘Oh! This is the next thing,'” Oh recalled to Playback Daily when recounting how she came to collaborate with Fleming on Window Horses.
Playback Online, Oct 28th 2014

The movie will center on Rosie Ming, a young mixed-race Canadian poet who travels to a poetry contest in Iran
and learns truths about her long-absent father and about the nature of poetry itself.
Toon Zone, Oct 28th 2014

"Award-winning Canadian filmmaker and CFC alumna Ann Marie Fleming today announced her first collaboration with actress Sandra Oh
(Grey’s Anatomy, Sideways) for her latest film, an animated feature called Window Horses."
Candian Film Centre, Oct 28th 2014
