WODR started with a simple idea: honoring the director, Caitlyn Fitzgerald’s late grandfather. She wanted a way to celebrate the life and memories she shared. This idea blossomed into something meant for everyone. WODR follows the story of a little boy, Willie, who deals with the loss of his grandfather. The film takes place in an aquarium, a place he and his grandfather frequented. Willie is alone, reflecting his emotions, when suddenly a magical water spirit appears! Taking the form of an otter, the spirit guides Willie through the aquarium as he relives a day with his grandfather. The film gets its name from the proto-English root word for both water and otter, wódr̥.
