FROM THE ARTIST: "This stop-motion short was created during 2022 as part of First Kiss Theatre Company's Residency Program. It was filmed in multiple locations (unintentionally) with not much of a plan, but the through line ended up being that funny little human quirk we call loneliness. Follow Eric, the essentially microscopic plastic duck, around as he searches for connection in a big big world. The film was created, shot, and edited by Eliza Kuperschmid."​
