Stopmotion
Directed by Robert Morgan
Ella Blake is a stop-motion animator who is struggling to control her demons after the loss of her overbearing mother. Suddenly alone in the world, she embarks upon the creation of a macabre new puppet film, which soon becomes the battleground for her sanity. As Ella’s mind starts to fracture, the characters in her animated film take on a terrifying life of their own, and the unleashed power of her imagination threatens to destroy her.
A struggling stop-motion animator is haunted by her own creations in this acclaimed and nightmarish vision from director Robert Morgan.
Cast: Aisling Franciosi, Stella Gonet, Tom York, Caoilinn Springall, Therica Wilson-Read

It was somewhat unique but obviously written as a short that had to be stretched out with random stuff to fill its listless story
Great art and storyline
Great to see a feature length movie including the animation style I recognised instantly from one of the more messed up contributions to the ABCs of Death anthology movies. Great spiral into the mental decline of an artist unable to stand on their own merit. I have a theory on the story Ella was creating, there was no mention of Ella’s dad… just leaving that there.
Was a good weird watch, I guess we all put a bit of ourselves into our art !
Really good plot, effects and scenes. Loved the use of actual stop motion throughout the film. Weird, creepy, the end was a bit weak though.
