Info

This mixed-media short film cosists of stop-motion animation and digital collage, created as my final-year university project.

Frost glimmers in the afternoon light, as a rickety house sits slumped on a blanket of snow. Balloons and cake decorate inside with the promise of festivities, as Dewey races to prepare for his birthday. As evening comes, the hours tick by, but not a single guest arrives. Another uneventful day for little Dewey, as he adorns his party hat and celebrates alone. However, it appears that this trip around the sun may take a sudden turn, when the arrival of an unexpected creature sends Dewey on a surreal, uncanny, and frightening journey against his greatest inner turmoil.
