X-Mess Detritus

MTV and SciFi Channel veteran, Voltaire, takes a dark look at gift-giving and the effect it has on the Earth in this one-minute Christmas parable. Animated in stop-motion by Voltaire and narrated by Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance.
This short was created for the Creepy Christmas Film Festival 2008. The brainchild of Beck Underwood, the festival was launched on-line at www.creepychristmas.net and hosted by Larry Fessenden's production company, Glass Eye Pix.
