Waking Up the Insects
Waking Up the Insects
Stéphanie Lansaque & François Leroy have been creating truly amazing animated short films and collecting awards from their secret base in Hanoi.
Their way of blending real footage with animation is unique, and their love and understanding of Southeast Asian culture resonates with our values here at The Hong Kong Fixer. So we were thrilled when they brought us on board of their new project in Hong Kong, The Awakening of the Insects to help them bring Mr. Fat & Mrs. Meng to life.
Mr Fat is an old gentleman who has been losing his memory since the death of his wife. Like every day, he goes to his pawn shop where no customer has been in for a long time. But today, the day of “the awakening of the hibernating insects,” he receives the unexpected visit of old Mrs. Meng. This Taoist exorcist is determined to chase the demons lodging in the head of the old man.
