short narrative film, in post production

editor

KNOWN is a short film that follows Om, a queer man who midst becoming a known sperm donor for a dear friend and the existential questions around family and responsibility, decides to buy a plant to take care of.

Integrating magical realism through animation and puppetry, Om’s new plant slowly starts to grow and grow until it consumes his room whole. Upon getting pulled inside of it, he meets Plant Baby, a Hensen-style puppet who is able to reach the depths of Om’s inner world, pulling him towards the responsibility and self-perception he has been struggling to find within himself.

Directors: Anooj Bhandari, Robin Virginie
