Reflection ^{(for self-concious kids)}

'Reflection' is a 5-minute short film about going through self-loathing and coming out the other end. This inner journey takes the shape of a rough snowstorm, with lush paint textures and playful ink lines.

synopsis

The home of 11-year-old Fiep is filled with mirrors of all shapes and sizes. She focuses on the imperfections of her reflection so intensely, that they literally grow gigantic, and Fiep turns into a kind of mutation of all her amplified imperfections... Fiep stumbles past all the mirrors, through the door, into the ferocious winter landscape that surrounds her - running away as far as possible...
