At once surreal and poignant, this semi-autobiographical film by American director John Dilworth (Courage the Cowardly Dog) chronicles a turning point in the life of an artist.
John R. Dilworth's 2nd professional film, this short film was inspired by the romantic comedies of early Woody Allen. Shot on 35mm, it was animated and colored by hand using 'cels'.
A mouse tosses away the strawberry he's eating for a huge piece of cheese, which is baiting a trap. He spends a lot of time licking the cheese and sort of avoiding it, before the trap finally does its job. But that doesn't stop the severed head from enjoying the cheese.
A tale told in three intertwined stories focused on a writer driven by glory. He struggles to complete a masterpiece, with inspiration from a life-long muse, about love, betrayal and horror based on childhood memories. After an encounter with an unnatural force, the writer realizes his true prize.
