Synopsis

This fun, light hearted and fast paced film follows the journey of a group of animals filming their tv show as a random glitch interferes with their production. Scrambling to finish and protect their sensitive data, they attempt various methods of evasion, but their problems just keep multiplying! The animals must choose between saving their film or saving themselves if they ever hope for the chaos to end…

Artist Statement

Artists are all familiar with failure as a part of the creative process, we wanted to exemplify that part of the artistic journey in our film. In our visual design we have tried to reflect the light hearted nature in which art came into our lives as children with fun colors, happy stories and blue skies but frame it in the confines of our reality. Working in the enclosed world which poses challenges and a lot of failures that we accept as part of the creative journey.
