Quest
Directed by Tyron Montgomery
Produced by Thomas Stellmach Animation
A meditative, visually poetic short about a solitary sand creature's yearning for water and meaning in an empty desert landscape.
A being made of sand wakes up in the desert. It finds a bottle near him, but it's empty. The noise of dropping water can be heard not far away.
