Open Theme 1st place winner

Through the Mouse Hole is a fantasy story inspired by Tom & Jerry and The Borrowers. The narrative revolves around a young girl who finds herself in the home of a small mouse, living behind the skirting board in the family home.

The project is shot in the style of a vintage cartoon or Super8 projection, and uses hand built scenes and props combined with composite studio portraiture.

Exploring themes of friendship and loneliness through a character who finds safety and security in the world of her imagination; someone who struggles to find their place in the real world.
