“Just five more minutes.”
: Short Film
Toast
Steak and Rosé
We created this surreal animated sequence for the short film Toast.
Directed by Douglas Riggs and Narrated by Ella Purnell. Toast is an exercise in shutting down the frontal lobe during the writing process in hopes of catching lighting in a bottle, both in the written word and corresponding imagery. A five minute waterfall of automatic cadence about how we, as humans, argue and negotiate with ourselves every morning over the simple task of getting out of bed...and what massive consequences that seemingly small decision has over our lives.

The Art of Wandering Through Waking Dreams.
The animation style was built around vivid, sensory-rich illustrations that feel hallucinatory, where the surreal and mundane meet in unexpected ways.
“How about I sleep a little longer and forget all this nonsense.”
