Objects in Mirror

About This Movie

So, 'Objects in Mirror' is a 2025 short from a CalArts MFA first-year program. Really interesting blend of animation styles—feels experimental, you know? The pacing is a bit uneven, which actually adds to that dreamlike quality. There's a rawness in the practical effects used throughout, making everything feel tactile and alive. Themes of reflection—both literal and metaphorical—are woven through the narrative. The sound design complements the visuals nicely, creating this immersive atmosphere. Not much info on the director yet, but there's a distinct voice emerging in this piece. It’s one of those films where the exploration of identity and memory really resonates, even if it doesn’t follow a traditional storyline.
