GRUFF is a handmade, paper short film I’ve been designing, building, puppeteering, and editing across almost three years. It’s a story about the people you know love you, but aren’t exactly verbal about it. It’s how I’ve processed my dad’s passing, and learned how to love people who don’t love exactly like me.
I believe we all have individuals in our lives, related or not, that pride themselves as the “strong silent types“. Through this short film, I hope all of us can learn to empathize, connect, and more deeply love the those who have so much more to say than we think, and just need us to listen.
I hope you enjoy “GRUFF“.
