    Over 2500 hand drawn frames create a rotoscope animation of a figure that continuously climbs and falls from a bust of the artist. As the animated figure moves around the bust he exposes different parts of the artists own skin. The performance is an endless loop as he struggles to reach the top. His victory is short lived though as he stumbles shortly after he reaches the summit. After the fall he simply brushes himself and begins the climb again.

    Two male blow-up dolls become puppets in this short. Not only is one of the men out of air, but both of them are tragically out of synch with one another.

    The housecall in “Filth” doesn’t go quite as planned when a simple cleaning job becomes a nightmare. A pixilated tale which combines both the action in the film and the action on the film.
