YouTube Review: ‘Bounty’, Amazing Story of Ex-Bounty Hunter And His Daughter

Recently, Shirley Zhou has released an amazing animated short film that is called ‘Bounty’. It is her thesis project to complete her own MFA animation degree at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). She really wanted to try her hand at world-building and creating a complete story in short form that also had the potential to be part of a longer story if I chose to expand on it.

It was completed in the year 2019 and has been featured in various festivals. The short film is actually about an ex-bounty hunter who makes breakfast with his young daughter, who becomes increasingly curious about his past profession.

This particular short film was beautifully crafted and animated. Although it is an intense story, many people realize that there is a certain optimistic message to it. One imagines that Joe becomes a bounty hunter because it pays the bills. But when Evie came into his life, it changed his point of view. Yes, he quit because he was disillusioned with how his bounty-hunting killed a mother.

But the reason he stopped was also that he recognized there were other ways to really ‘stop’ bad guys and one of them would be to raise them right before they became the bad guys. One of the iconic lines from the short film would definitely be from Evie which she said, “For other people, that’s why we do things”.
