Two artists create grotesque characters; Two-dimensional drawings which somehow have a life of their own, that exist in the same space as real objects. The film seems to ask, "Isn't every filmmaking venture a series of repeated, once-negative images displayed alongside the real world?"

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its world from the most basic elements: pencil, paper, and the gesture that gives life. It explores the animator's act as a kind of alchemy, where two-dimensional sketches gain autonomy and challenge their creator's authority.
What lingers after viewing is a sense of unease about the creative process itself, and the grotesque beauty of forms that refuse to be controlled. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Owen Land
