Plot

Cast

Lily Elsie as Daisy Belle[1]

Production

The film was created in San Diego using computer animation and miniatures.[2] It's an existential film with "technical movie production challenges." Wall said he and his team brainstormed the idea of the story, making sure it fit into the scope of his usual short film budget.[2] He made the robot "Oono" out of metal to give it a rusty, vintage look. Wall’s film includes themes of surrealism and dark fantasy.[3]
