Synopsis: Returning home after an errand, his anxiety spikes up as the fear of contracting coronavirus grips him. Trying to rationalize his intrusive thoughts, as memories and emotions resurface making him spiral further. It’s hard to differentiate dreams from reality.
During the pandemic in 2020, we decided to collaborate and work on a film. As we all had been going through some or the other thing, our mindset matched and we decided to do something on mental health. There is an insect inside me that has been inspired by our experiences during and before the pandemic. The motifs in the film are symbolic in the narrative, the black insects representing feelings, mental health and fear. The mask of the main character represents the brave acts or defences put up by a person. Most of all, the cubes represent the emptiness and entrapment we may have felt despite being home.

The 3D animated short film "The Frontier Is Everywhere" is inspired by a book "The Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan". The film narrates a story of the past, present and future of this Pale Blue Dot ( Earth ). It also talks about the delusion that we think we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Modern science has been a voyage into the unknown with a lesson in humility at every step. We aren’t that special, if we screw up the Pale Blue Dot, there is no sign that help will come from elsewhere. This Film underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.
