Trolls
live-action short film, Red One camera, 16:9 / 8:00 minutes
There comes a time in every kid’s life when they realize their parents are up to more than just “cleaning their room.” For nine-year-old Billy, this discovery comes with the help of his know-it-all younger cousin Genevieve. When she explains the rules and point system of the “adults-only” game, Billy and Genevieve start counting up their own points. Soon playground gossip turns anatomical, and Billy, with Genevieve close behind, tries to get to the bottom of what “doing it” actually means. Trolls is a hilarious reminder of those childhood moments that made growing up exciting, embarrassing, and downright confusing.
