“An isolated girl deplores her captivity, not realizing just how closely entwined she actually is to the flight of freedom, as her tears spawn escape devices for the disenchanted.”

This surreal, existential fairytale explores themes of consciousness and its disconnection; the mind being caged by the inability to achieve one’s dreams; the Self as confronted by just-out-of-reach freedom. Leaving Ground is a stop-motion HD short starring handmade puppets and digital rotoscoping.
