Jonni released her thesis film Ascensia on June 1 on Youtube.

"In her work, she’s interested in exploring vague emotions and feelings, depicting and expressing them through surrealist non-linear narratives and characters, and combining different animated mediums to create layers of meaning and analogy. One of her main goals is to execute her films in a fashion where the overall tone and feeling is tangible throughout every aspect of the work. Jonni is interested in creating unique worlds within film as well as portraying humanity and identity in unconventional ways that have been, so far, unexpressed."- from website
