"The Memory Trade" is a colorful parable about reconciling our happy memories with the the damage they may have unknowingly caused. Our story follows a Monster whose preparation for his Mother's favorite soup is interrupted by the sudden realization that he has been trading a community of sentient creatures to acquire the ingredients. Is the soup worth it? Will his fond memories of his mother vanish if he never eats the soup again? How can one Monster make a difference in the world? Find out in "The Memory Trade". This film was made possible by The Green Feather Foundation and was entirely shot in a New York City bedroom during the COVID lockdowns.
