SHEEP OUT

SHEEP OUT is a story about pedantic animator that lives a routine life, only moving between home and work. Slowly sinking into apathy, she began separating herself from the outside world. Her life turns upside down when she discovers a picture of sheep, that in a series of absurd events, eventually draws her out of stagnation.

It’s a symbolic story about facing your fears and getting out of comfort zone, loosely inspired by Haruki Murakami’s book Wild Sheep Chase.
