What happens
If Anything Happens I Love You is an American 2D animated short film written and directed by Will McCormack and Michael Govier (in their directorial debut). Its story follows two grieving parents as they struggle to confront the death of their daughter, who was killed in a school shooting. Produced by Gilbert Films and Oh Good Productions, the film was released on Netflix on November 20, 2020. The initial idea for the film came from a meeting between McCormack and Govier at Griffith Park. The pair later wrote the script for the film over a year, with production beginning in 2018 and Youngran Nho serving as animating director. Using the short film Father and Daughter as inspiration and working closely with Everytown for Gun Safety, production concluded in February 2020. If Anything Happens I Love You was revealed on March 4, 2020, during a private screening at the United Talent Agency in Beverly Hills, where it was presented by Jayme Lemons, Chelsea Handler, Phil Johnston, Mary McCormack, Rashida Jones, and executive producer Laura Dern. Following its release on Netflix, the short was met with critical acclaim; at the 93rd Academy Awards, it won Best Animated Short Film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
