Hot Buns

2023 · 11 min

A cheeky, vividly surreal satire that turns absurd body politics into a sharp, media-savvy provocation.

Tagline
In this strange polarised world of Hands and Butts, a single act of violence towards an oppressed Butt sets the media-verse ablaze.
Overview
In a surreal world of sentient Butts and Hands, a celebrity chef’s outrageous behaviour on live television sparks a movement to empower those at the bottom of society. This cheeky, vividly-handled animated short pokes at the divisive, and often performative politics of equality in a hyper-mediated digital age.
