Rebooted
It's not easy for a movie star to age - especially when you're a stop motion animated skeleton monster.
Directed by Michael Shanks
Produced by Screen Australia, Skip Ahead Initiative
A bittersweet comedy-drama about an aging stop-motion monster grappling with obsolescence and irrelevance in modern Hollywood, balancing melancholy reflection with optimistic defiance.
Phil, once a terrifying villain of the silver-screen, struggles to find work in modern Hollywood due to being an out-of-date special effect. Refusing to succumb to his own irrelevance, Phil takes drastic measures when he learns the film for which he was created is being rebooted without him.
