ENOUGH
United Kingdom, 2018 / 2 min / without words / animation, comedy
What would happen if you were to impulsively act on your everyday frustrations?
Have you ever had the sudden urge to do something bad? Something you know is wrong, but you can’t get the thought out of your head? From pushing someone down the stairs, to sniffing a stranger’s hair, Anna Mantzaris explores some of these dark urges in her hilarious and relatable short Enough and lets adorable felt characters act upon impulses we all feel, but decide to ignore.
“I wanted people to think it was funny, but at the same time a little bit painful.” Director’s statement by Anna Mantzaris
