ROOST

Clubbed Thumb

Roost is a toy-theater short film with an animal, an owl, and a tree hollow. Handmade and hand-operated, Roost marries the analog charms of theater with our contemporary digital world. Profoundly weird and delicately delightful, Roost follows the passage of a home from old owner to new — a timeless tale told by tiny puppets.
