Project Title- Elbows Off!
“Elbows off!” is a stop-motion short film that explores the tension that can build around a family dinner table. The film is a gory comedy that aims to put a comedic spin on the desire to be seen as the perfect family, while also exposing what happens behind closed doors. Since my film’s narrative was inspired by my experiences in my childhood home, I designed and built the set to loosely resemble my family dining room. This made the project much more personal and more enjoyable to work on.
