small report - independent media for kids
In a world of big budget films for kids packed full of wise cracking characters primed for commercial tie-ins we are really impressed with the work of Kristin Eno. She has devoted herself to developing independent media for kids that generates and creates imaginative response, not a pre-designed and generic experience. Find her amazing film -made with, and starring real live children- Spirit Ship here.
You can read more about her independent media for kids on her website.

small sponsors
We have great sponsors here at Smaller. I have picked a few of my favorite dresses from their websites, but there is a lot to explore at all of our sponsors shops. Each sponsor reflects the small ethos of independent small scale design made with thought and care.
