thetannery

A fox has a life-after-death experience. “The challenge for me as an animator and director was to translate an emotional experience I’d had to the audience but through a bizarre situation that can only be depicted with animation!” said filmmaker Iain Gardner.

The Tannery was commissioned by Channel 4’s 4mations banner, produced by Scottish animation production house Axis Animation, with music composed and arranged by Belle & Sebastian’s Mick Cooke.
