CHESLEY CANNON: animation/theatre/film/puppets

Short Film produced at Aardman Academy In Studio Stop Motion course 2023-2024


Precocious middle-schooler Lilah has misplaced her jacket. The story of how she lost it will take her and her two sisters on an epic adventure across the high seas, to the bottom of the ocean, and even out of this world… Blending non-realistic staging conventions borrowed from live theatre performance with hand-crafted stop-motion animation, “My Jacket” is a celebration of storytelling and collaboration, as well as the ways your siblings can be both your greatest enemies and your most steadfast supporters.
