College Bound highlights the first graduating high school class of Success Academy Charter Schools, the largest and highest-performing charter school network in New York City. The documentary follows some of the school’s high school seniors—and the families, teachers, and support systems involved in their schooling journey from K-12.

Building the world

Animation and a rich color palette helped complement documentary footage to bring our story  to life. Our animations illustrated a singular student “character,” bringing viewers along for the complexities and abstract moments of Success Academy’s history.
