THE STORY

Logline

“The Human Fossil” is an animated short film about alien archaeologist Soo’s mesmerizing encounter with the relics of human civilization. Initially perplexed by the ceramic artifacts she found in a desert, Soo performs amusing experiments with these unfamiliar objects, even performing rituals with what is a toilet bowl. However, as Soo uncovers a cave and immerses broken bowls and mugs in the water, she witnesses vivid flashbacks from their ancient owners thousands of years ago.

An alien archaeologist stumbles upon a mysterious relic.

Synopsis

The Director

Rebecca Huang is an animation director based in New York City. Before pursuing her creative career full-time, she worked in sales and marketing strategies at Google for three years. While this experience trained her business acumen, it also made her realize how much she longed to draw, create and tell stories.

Rebecca has studied and worked in Singapore, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York. In her work, she constantly finds herself musing upon the common human experience that transcends race, nationality, social and political structures.

The Producer
