The Lemonade Stand
Animator
I animated this comedic skit with a team of 3 others. This short was animated and directed by me, Jasmine Shafik, Chris Eleftheriadis, and Malayna Ng. This film shows how a deceptively normal lemonade stand selling lemonade to their neighbors on a hot day goes horribly wrong.
Ben gets beaten up by Devin and his group of friends at a park. His friend, Adam, spots this and hides behind a building to avoid confrontation with the gang. Ben eventually seeks revenge on Devin while confronting Adam about his cowardice to come and help him when he needed it most.

It's a hot day and all these local neighbors want is some nice lemonade. All is well until one curious customer digs too deep on how the lemonade is made, uncovering a secret conspiracy about the owners (that they made up).
