Sneak peek for Juli�n, the new film from Irish studio Cartoon Saloon

A clip from the feature film Juli�n from Irish studios Cartoon Saloon has just been released. You can find the video below.

Official synopsis: The wide-eyed Julián spends a summer of discovery in New York City with his Abuela. Nearly strangers, they brace themselves for tense conversations and new adventures. The colorful chaos of Abuela's world, and the stories she tells him, awakens something within Julián... questions about who he is and who he could be. Julián's journey will reach across the diaspora, from Brooklyn block to the depths of the ocean, in an intergenerational ebb and flow. Through Abuela's world, Julián explores his identity, gender expression, and the hidden heritage of his family.

Based on the graphic novel "Juliàn is a Mermaid" by Jessica Love, the film marks the feature film directorial debut of Oscar-nominated filmmaker Louise Bagnall (Late Afternoon), Guillaume Lorin and Mark Mullery (assistant directors on My Father's Dragon and WolfWalkers), from a screenplay by Love and Juliany Taveras.

Produced by Cartoon Saloon together with Folivari, Sun Creature, Aircraft Pictures and Wychwood Media, the film has debuted at Annecy and other international film festival and be released in theaters nationwide later this year.

Here is the sneak peek with Juliàn and Luna:
