Original Short Film: Under Covers

Watch the trailer:

Under Covers fuses stop motion animation, forced perspective sets, and handmade puppets to explore the bedrooms of unusual characters. Each scene unlocks new discoveries as we take a peek inside their homes, between their sheets, and under their beds.

This hand-crafted dark comedy conjures a comforting thought: that weird is relative. Initially debuting at Sundance, the film has since traveled the world, played at venues such as Nitehawk Cinema and Brooklyn Academy of Music, and was selected as a Vimeo Staff Pick Premiere. IndieWire named Under Covers one of 10 Must-See Short Films at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, and Creative Director Michaela Olsen was recently named one of Filmmakers Magazine’s 25 Directors to Watch.
