Small Hours is a fully split/mosaic screen 2D animated short, which follows the trains of thought of two people as they transition from one memory to another.
As we dive deeper into these memories, we transcend into the characters’ subconscious and lose track of reality. The film helps to remind us that small elements matter in our lives. It pulls the viewer into those minute details that they might have otherwise let slip, and reflects what is ultimately core to human experience.
Running time: 5 minutes
