Humanimals
I composited and assisted in the ideation of HUMANIMALS with Director Benjamin Mansur.
SYNOPSIS
In a world where the roles of humans and animals have been flipped, HUMANIMALS explores the complex relationship between humans and animals through a series of revenge-comedy vignettes.
But to what end?
About HUMANIMALS, from the Director
HUMANIMALS began after considering why I felt increasingly desensitised towards discussions of animal rights activism.
The film explores multiple facets of the issues surrounding animal ethics and consumption by substituting animals with humans in a comedic, but ultimately violent, light.
I was interested in asking audiences to think about how they interact with animals in their daily lives—both directly and indirectly—and how they actually feel about this relationship.
