Die Boodskapper

A little boy’s tears bring a tiny man, made of modelling clay, to life in Paul Crafford’s short film, Die boodskapper, this year in the Shotgun Shorts category of the Silwerskerm Festival. Single frame animation is combined with traditional filmmaking in this 12-minute movie that tells the story of a young boy, Jake (Liam Kruger), who finds himself caught in the middle of a ferocious conflict between his parents, Susan (Izaan du Toit) and Frank (Emile Hager).
