From the Judges, on SHADOW PUPPETS (2023)

From the Judges, on SHADOW PUPPETS

The musical score drew real admiration from the panel, a richly characterful piece of composition that carries the film's mood from beginning to end. That same care shows in the production design and the cinematography, which build a world with texture and intent in every frame. It struck them as a confident, fully realised short, and the work behind it clearly rewards a closer look.
