Sometimes it's hard to figure out where you fit in in this world.


Sometimes it's hard to figure out where you fit in in this world. In one mockumentary, we learn that in a world full of beautiful butterflies, it is difficult for a worm to fit in. In another short, a young woman offers a self-portrait in the most favorable light possible, giving us what we want to hear, even if the visual narrative tells an entirely different story. In another short, happy-go-lucky worker slugs have a hard time keeping up with the pace of life in the city of insects. When a financial crisis hits, the industry only sees one solution. Can the slugs change their work/life priorities?
