The Healer by artist New Position was a film that definitely snuck up on us. It clocked in on the longer side at 19 minutes, but there were a lot of cool elements that made us say “Yes” early on.
The Healer is the journey of one woman’s come up from hustler to entrepreneur told in a meditative, steady stream of consciousness flow. We go inside the character’s brain and out into her world as she plots her next move up.
The main character’s voice rivals your favorite sleep podcast or ASMR video. But the unique character design and video game style “character stats” break up the calm and keep you interested. It had a 90s CD-ROM game vibe, but fresh and new. We really hope New Position sends us more episodes and did we mention they composed the soundtrack too? Connect with them here.
We were proud to award our Audience Favorite winner, The Healer, with a $100 gift card, our Golden Pencil award and One Year Subscription to Toon Boom! Thanks Toon Boom!
