Small Lives is a surreal short stop – motion animated film that was developed and completed within the span of four months during my final year at Birmingham City University while I was studying Animation. The film was inspired by the work of filmmakers Jan Švankmajer and Brothers Quay.

A troubled, wandering stranger finds shelter in a strange warehouse. It becomes a dream world, where he is able to rebuild his home.
