It’s fitting that a film that pays tribute to those who inspire and mentor was created through a program that aims to do just that for undiscovered talent.
Taylor Meacham’s animated short To: Gerard — which made the Academy’s shortlist for this season’s animated short Oscar — was created through DreamWorks Animation’s Shorts Program, which was conceived to identify and develop emerging animation talent at the studio, and its score was composed by Layla Minoui, who came to the Dwa program through Universal Music’s similar initiative for composers.

DreamWorks Animation has dropped a first trailer to “To: Gerard,” from writer-director Taylor Meacham, a short feature parable about the sense of magic that a parent or parental figure can spark in an dazzled child, still enchanting them 60 years on – and prompting them to inspire others.
Having been selected for this year’s Tribeca Festival, “To: Gerard” will celebrate its European premiere at France’s Annecy Festival, which runs June 15-30.
In the short film, Gerard, now set in his years, remembers back to when, as a tongue-tied child, he met The Great Volonti, who dazzled him on stage with his sleight of hand as he juggled a gold coin between one hand and the other.
“Maybe there will be a time when you can create a little magic of you own,” The Great Volonti says. before presenting the little Gerard with the coin.
That just hasn’t happened. Gerard...

DreamWorks Animation’s latest short, “To: Gerard,” a love letter to Manhattan and magic, directed by storyboard artist Taylor Meacham (“Trolls”), will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 18. It’s about a mailman named Gerard who dreams of becoming a magician with the help of a young girl, a legendary master named The Great Vivonti, and a very special coin.
“New York has such a historical wealth of great filmmakers that have deeply inspired me while growing up, and Manhattan is where I first got my foot in the door within the film industry,” said Meacham, who was also inspired by his father and how he helped unify his love of animation and the art of illusion. “Because of my relation to this city, it feels like such a gift to be able to come back to New York and the Tribeca Film Festival to share a part...
