A little background information...
Its a surrealist about the joys and terrors of childbirth. The conceit was suggested to me by a six year old and the script came to me in a dream.
How was the film made?
Three actors, a digital SLR shooting single frames, assembled in an old version of Premier. Plasticine powered stop-motion was employed for the final scenes, shot on a rig made from draw runners which might have made Travis Bickle proud.
