The story of Little Spirit
Firstly...
What is Little Spirit?
It is a home.
Little Spirit is not for profit. It's not a company, or a business. Little Spirit is the forest that houses Robert's own little garden of films made with — and for — passion. It's the one place that can't be sold or touched, except by Robert with careful hands. This little curated site serves as a film portfolio, yes, but also a memo and promise to himself to hold his voice steady, even when no one else hears it speak. Little Spirit is a retreat from life's noise into an imaginative world of freedom, love, and safety. It's also where I live.
Robert offers this space as an invitation to you into his world; a peek, if you will. And, dear reader, I hope you enjoy this space as Robert does. Delve in ~ take a walk. 🍂
Yours, both in care & fervour,
The Wisp
The Early Days
Robert & The Wisp
The little wisp, the adorable face of Little Spirit, came to Robert as a child, drawing on index cards in his brother's bedroom. At the time, he wanted to invent his own Pokémon. Years later, on very late night during his time in design school in the Fall of 2017, he remembered his ideas and whipped up The Wisp, almost immediately from memory. The other spirits were drawn the same night.
He'd always dreamed up and doodled ideas of mysterious forest spirits, known to be both mischievous & benevolent in nature. So it was inevitable that The Wisp would open his eyes & come to life one day.

More about Robert
Robert's a West Seattleite; an avid traveler, ardent filmmaker & photographer, and dedicated writer. His fervent and vivid imagination fuel his every endeavour. A lifetime of poor eyesight led him to engage in the world through his senses of hearing & touch. Sound and music play as much of a role as visuals do, and the gravity of love is a common motif in his work.
Robert's working independently, and writing two feature length films he's pretty stoked about. He's currently living in Seattle, Washington with his 12 cats.
Just kidding, but can you imagine? 12 cats, holy shit. Imagine having to be the one cleaning all those litter boxes.
