Why Watch? An adorable blob (that’s downright Hertzfeldtian) lands on a strange planet with tiny people who all begin trying to jump into shadow. From there, it gets weird.
Malcolm Sutherland’s experimental short is the perfect blend of non-flashy animation and silent story – trying to unravel a few of the universe’s mysteries while managing humor and terror alike. It’s a tough combination, but Sutherland nails it, proving that big ideas and emotions can come from a simply-drawn creature.
What will it cost? Only 5 minutes.
