A Stray

Even a little slap from a parent can send a small child to an emotional spiral. A young boy runs away from home and goes to explore a frightening city behind the train rails. It delves deep into the city, finding way to release its own emotions and ultimately, deals with the trauma its own way. Painted backgrounds are combined with 3D elements to create abstract broken landscapes that take us into the panicked mind of a young boy.
