Unearthed

Unearthed is a campaigning, yet whimsical, stop frame animation using natural clay, itself from the earth, to celebrate and explore the theme of healthy soil, teeming with life. We zoom down and focus in on ever-more tiny beings that inhabit this largely unknown biome beneath our feet. Choreographed to Strauss’s Blue Danube waltz, the film’s characters dance out of Pearl’s imagination, inspired by wiggling earthworms, fungal mycelium, bugs, and soil bacteria. Healthy soil is key to life on earth. In a germophobic world, where soil is mostly considered ‘dirt’, a location that disgusts because insects thrive and pathogens possibly lurk, Unearthed encourages us instead to fall in love with the tiny beings living there, and whispers an SOS - to ‘Save Our Soil’.

This animated short moves fluidly through a series of interconnected vignettes—from online personas to offline hookups, from the thrift store to the dance floor to the bathhouse.

At its core, the film probes the tenderness and tension of modern gay identity. Beneath a million witty one-liners, the soul cries out.
