"In The Tall Grass" is animation short film, with typically unusual theme for this medium, it's a psychological thriller, driven by mostly one character and his emotions.
Our western tradition see animation movies mostly as an entertainment, we think, however, that animation movies, should be considered as serious as live action movies. It can be difficult, philosophic, frightening, to same degree as other type of moving pictures, the only difference between two is the visual aesthetic.
In our short film, we tried to cover serious problems that bother us, and represent them in a different way.
