OVERVIEW
The short Long Live New York is part of a marketing campaign created to increase the number of registered organ donors in the greater New York metropolitan area and surrounding counties. The centerpiece of the campaign is a 90-second animated short film created by Oscar-winning director Laurent Witz. The film is inspired by the steampunk aesthetic of the Academy Award-winning animated short Mr. Hublot and depicts a melancholic, seemingly post-apocalyptic New York City crumbling to pieces. New Yorkers then begin carrying pieces of the broken city (street signs, manhole covers, Grand Central clock), to form a beating heart restoring life into the city.
