Jesse Buckley lends his voice to BAFTA-winning filmmaker Paloma Pace's („The House,” „Polls Apart”) hand-drawn animated short „Three Hairs.”
The eco-themed film – currently in production – was directed and adapted by Paisa from an original story by „The People in the Trees,” „A Little Life,” „To Paradise,” and editor Hanya Yanagihara. D: Editor of The New York Times Style magazine.
According to the film's narrative, „The Three Rabbits” weaves an enchanting creation myth and the mystical origin story of the ancient Three Rabbits into an environmental story about three sisters who must remind humanity to respect the Earth to protect their future.
Oscar and BAFTA nominee Buckley (“Wicked Little Letters,” “The Lost Daughter”) narrates the film, which also features original music by two-time Oscar-winning composer Gustavo Santolalla (“Brokeback Mountain,” “Babel”) and co. -Composer Juan Lucci („The Last of Us”).

„Making this film felt like carving a rare and delicate gem,” Paisa said. “Our exceptionally talented team of committed animators and designers created a brilliant visual canvas, elevated beyond our expectations by Gustavo and Juan's immersive, magical score and the enigmatic warmth of Jesse's voice. It's an inspiring collaboration, in the service of delivering an urgent message that we believe strongly in.”
