Filmmaker Statement

I’ve always loved creating unique characters and telling their stories. This film is a celebration of dark comedy and uniquely British humor as we follow the alien as they try to steal a “masterpiece” from earth. The Guard character is a much more matter of fact representation of humanity, instinctively defensive, foolhardy and trying to protect what she considers to be great art. She offers a great counterpart to the bizarre alien character. The film as a mixed media piece allows the team to make use of our experience in both 2d and stop motion animation. The film is dialogue free, with the focus being on the characters actions, the films tone and atmosphere to drive the story.
