Er... for the life of me, can't remember exactly where, pretty sure it was in London, might have been an Animate! screening? Or the RES festival? Or the London short film festival... I think it was in the same programme with the Cat with Hands film... not sure, sorry. I just remember liking it a lot at the time and it was great to see it again here. Cheers!
Wow this has to be one of the coolest short film animations I've seen!
I really liked the little guy 'cause when I was younger, I use to imagine little humanoid creatures doing things like what he does (living in the ground and collecting things) happening secretly in the wilderness or wherever.
I love your characters, they are so dark and intriguing. This was an absolutely amazing short film. In such a short time you made me feel so much. I loved it, keep making them, the music is great!
I just watched spontaneous generation and now this..
i like your style man
thats fucking awesome your doing this kind of work in college.. i dont do anything in animation but its inspiring to see that calibur of art being made by someone my age
Just going through all of your old videos I forgot how awesome they all are! <3

Thank you! Just out of curiosity, where did you see this on the big screen? As far as I remember, it has only played at one or two festivals...
