guy101

Directed by Ian W. Gouldstone

A man hears a story about a hitchhiker from the other side of the internet.
A stranger on the internet tells a story, and the further it travels the less certain anything becomes. That simple idea gives guy101 an eerie pull long after the animation ends. Ian Gouldstone’s animated short film won a BAFTA for good reason: the digital aesthetic feels inseparable from the story, turning online anonymity, unreliable narration and desire into something unsettling without overexplaining what actually happened.
