SMALL TALK:
LOCKDOWN

SMALL TALK: LOCKDOWN LONDON, 2020

⏱ 4 mins ☁ English ⎚ 1:85

SMALL TALK is a trilogy
of still motion animation short films.

On the eve of the pandemic a new couple must decide if they will stay together through the lockdown.

Small Talk, was never intended to be a film about Covid-19 although the presence of a looming lockdown is the catalyst forcing a new couple into making a difficult decision.

Ultimately this leads to something more interesting and a battle between two romantic personas - a fantasist and a realist. 

The still motion animation style of the film follows its function.

Small Talk was made in lockdown, with minimal people involved and therefore is a self-constructed romantic fantasy made in relative isolation.

The dreams of both characters, and the filmmakers who made them, can never ascend the little room where they find themselves trapped.

Starring Grace Englert, Matty McCabe
