Synopsis

In 1909, a dapper young remittance man is sent from England to Alberta to attempt ranching. However, his affection for badminton, bird watching and liquor leaves him little time for wrangling cattle. It soon becomes clear that nothing in his refined upbringing has prepared him for the harsh conditions of the New World. This animated short is about the beauty of the prairie, the pang of being homesick and the folly of living dangerously out of context.

Wild Life (Making of)

“This is a fantastic film. I agree that non computer generated images, especially these hand painted ones! bring something to the animation that a computer can't.............yet! The equivalent in music would be the drum beat, natural and following the fluctuations of the heart, the drum beat becomes too even when generated by the computer”

“Great background information on the making of the film. I just watched this as part of the 2012 Oscar Shorts presentation at our local art house cinema here in Saint Louis, Missouri. I loved the film and put it down as my pick for Best Animated Short. Good luck!”
