Shot on expired 35mm with vintage rehoused lenses, Moon Garden is a heartfelt fantastical odyssey about a young girl trapped in a dark industrial wonderland. The girl is haunted by a chattering nightmare that feeds off her tears. In real life at her hospital bedside, her mother comforts her — the soothing voice coming through on an old transistor radio in the surreal dreamscape. The girl follows the signal, trying to find her way home and return to consciousness.
It’s been a while since we’ve had a combination between stop-motion puppetry and a live action fantasy. Ray Harryhausen films like Clash of the Titans and Jason and the Argonauts impacted a whole generation of young animators. Now that stop-motion is making a huge come back in indie animated feature films– We may see more stop-motion combined with live action to take viewers to worlds they’ve never seen before.
