The short toured several film festivals in the world before landing on Vimeo, streaming platform where it will be available for a limited time.

Performed by Lou Hamou-Lhadj and Andrew Coats and produced by Amanda Deering Jones, with music from the award-winning Gustavo Santaolalla, Borrowed Time is a short for adults, which, according to the filmmakers, you want to challenge "the notion of the animation to be a genre, and a genre specifically for children", having the aim been to create "something more adult in theme and to show that animation can be a medium to tell any kind of story".
