Big Trees

About This Movie

Big Trees is an intriguing short that weaves together animation and real-world elements in a rather striking way. The film centers around this woman in Vancouver, her apartment offering a stunning view of the ocean. But then—leaves encroach on her view, her light, her joy. It’s more than just a visual tale; it's about how the creeping nature can impact one's peace. The mix of stop-motion, projections, and practical models gives it a unique texture, almost like a living collage. It feels personal and intimate, yet there’s a broader commentary on how life often obscures our views, both literally and metaphorically. The pacing allows for deep reflection, making the atmosphere thick with contemplation.
