Ruby's Balloon is a new movie from Australia directed by Billy Minshull-Gardner and produced by Nicole Melrose.

I feel very fortunate to have been asked to create the poster art for this wonderful film.

Inspired by the 1956 film The Red Balloon (directed by Albert Lamorisse), Ruby's Balloon is about a young woman struggling with the pressures of growing up who forms a life-changing friendship with a beautiful, red balloon that has a personality of its own. This delightful and visually entertaining film reveals some of the hidden magic in the world that is often overlooked or forgotten.

The short film of Ruby's Balloon, "A Nightmare in Chalk", has just been released. Billy and Nicole are looking to make a full length version of this charming story and have started a Pozible page to help raise money to cover the filming cost. Please watch the short film of Ruby's Balloon bellow.  If you would like to support this movie, please follow this link to the Pozible website.
