SHORT FILM OF THE MONTH: FUSE |
|
Rated R
The story is an adaptation of a short story by the Iranian author Sādeq Chubak. However, the idea behind the way the story is told in FUSE was to make the audience in the dark cinema feel like a mouse trapped in a mousetrap. And for the mouse, there is no alternative but to accept the fate dictated by its masters. The mouse represents many individuals or groups: anyone suffering under the ignorance of others, any minority forced to stand against the majority. Fuse is hand-drawn in pencil and digitally colored frame by frame. No AI used.
