This short is a labor of love by co-writer / producer Reef Oldberg and co-writer / director / animator Ben Kadie

​

Developed in the middle of COVID lockdown- we aimed to create a story that could be made by 100% remote collaborators

​

The animation technique is a unique combination of 3D motion capture and 2D character animation, blended into a hand-painted style.
