Shorts Mexico is a Mexico-based international film festival focused on short films. It has become a vital platform for showcasing the works of both emerging local talent and international artists. Beyond curated screenings, the festival hosts an array of workshops, panel discussions, and accompanying events designed to facilitate creative exchange among filmmakers. The event has earned its reputation through its eclectic program, drawing in both general audiences and industry professionals alike.
Sheep Out follows a perfectionist animator trapped in a monotonous routine between home and work. Increasingly isolated and mired in lethargy, her life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers a picture of a sheep, leading to a series of absurd events that ultimately shake her from her apathy. The film is a symbolic exploration of confronting fear and stepping beyond one’s comfort zone, drawing loose inspiration from Haruki Murakami’s A Wild Sheep Chase.
