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?
