The Tale of the Rat that Wrote

In a strange Victorian world that seems partly frozen in the 1840s, JP Haddock is the rat catcher supreme. Feared by rodents and men alike, he uses captured rats in his animal laboratory, a dark chamber of horrors where others fear to tread. Genny is one of Haddock's detainees, a very bright rat who will do everything in her power to escape. The Tale of the Rat that Wrote is a sometimes humorous, sometimes shocking short film examining the consequences of man's tampering with nature. Out of competition
