“Within the Crystal Hills,” a charming new animated short film about New Hampshire’s Old Man of the Mountain, will be debuting on YouTube on June 3.

The film, directed by Griffin Hansen of Goffstown and written by Hansen and his producer Christina K. Caralis, tells a fictionalized origin of the rock formation on Cannon Mountain in Franconia that fell in 2003 but still remains a symbol of New Hampshire.
