From the wild minds of Nicole Daddona and Adam Wilder comes the compellingly bizarre, The Bleacher. Its deliberate grisly animation is utilized to its benefit, creating a scarring experience. 

 

For an 8-minute short, this horrific creation is confounding in its execution - tight-roping a grimy reality and a no-holds barred nightmarescape. 

 

While unlocking the mystery of where do all the missing socks go during the laundry process, we are offered an even greater secret - all accompanied by an eerily catchy musical number. Held together by the terrific, yet terrifying performances of Kate Micucci and Ben Sinclair. 

 

If you get a bit of time to encounter the absurdity of The Bleacher, it’s a breezy nightmare that’ll shock and bewilder you through its animated narrative.
