Shellfish

Winner of 35 film festival awards, including 15 Best of Fests, Shellfish is an indie coming-of-age comedy with a stop motion twist. Keller, an aspiring filmmaker, focuses on animating instead of dealing with a recent traumatic loss. Consequently, emotional beats in the movie are mixed with animation. Now, Keller has a week to make a film with his dumbstruck brother and the girl of his dreams without his parents finding out. As their shoot unravels, he must face his own selfishness and decide which is more important, his filmmaking or close relationships.
