The Box (2021)
Short Film
Based on the comic of the same name by Nick Seluk (the artist behind the popular "Awkward Yeti" comics), The Box follows a single mother who is so blinded by the struggles she faces day-to-day that she fails to see the bigger picture. She thinks that getting her son the prefect gift will show him how much she loves him, and the tension builds as it becomes more apparent that she is failing.
When she turns up empty-handed to get her son from day care, the adventurous scene depicted in the web comic takes over, giving in to the fantastical as we learn that viewing the world through the eyes of a child is all you need to change your perspective on life.
