Josée gets attached to the youngest member of the group while the machines sent by her company arrive in order to tear down the flock. Josée, powerless, witnesses the massacre. Alone, the small fawn survived and Josée takes it upon herself to guide him towards the light, helping his leaves grow again.

Days Off is a short film, an homage to the puppet and city. By combining puppet animation and live action it builds a certain strange kind of reality, a reality that is based in the real world. It is an audiovisual testimony using the language of surrealism, satire, parody, irony and gallows humor, a dark mirror reflecting today’s world.

When i lived in Montreal it was the first time id seen adult cinemas around in years (there was one really close to my studio at the time), an would often see guys when walking past go in there hiding there faces in shame, when it really shouldn’t be like that. i asked a few people i know over the last year about how they would feel about masterbating with other guys or having group sex when other guys are involved, an some had very angry hateful homophobic reactions to it which took me back a bit. so i made a animation celebrating that when it comes to any sexual fun your into or curious about, if it feels good between everyone who’s involved, do it and have a good time.
