Created for CKUT’s annual Funding Drive, Booming and Blooming merges hand-drawn animation with live-action footage to celebrate the station’s community spirit. Stasia’s pencil-on-paper flowers bloom across scenes of DJs and volunteers, symbolizing growth through collaboration. Completed under tight deadlines, the piece embodies CKUT’s DIY ethos and collective creativity, transforming a fundraising promo into an expression of renewal, joy, and the enduring vitality of independent radio.
