THE WORLD, NAKED AS A JAYBIRD is a stop motion animated short which embraces absurdist black comedy to illustrate the destructive nature of humanity.
The story revolves around Edith, a young girl who accidentally survives a massive atomic bombing. Left alone, with her entire world (literally) destroyed she goes on a journey to seek humanity, comfort and a new home. Instead, she finds melancholy, solace and several snails all going the opposite direction.
Using the whimsy of collage-style animation to perpetrate an inherently dark subject matter THE WORLD, NAKED AS A JAYBIRD blends various genres to attempt to illustrate a fraction of the strength and darkness in all of us.
