Description

It is difficult for Peter to create human connections with others. He has rationalized this through distorted scientific logic and because of this, ironically alienates those around him in the process. This animated short is about the difficulties of communication, its effect on relationships, and how one’s internal logic has the tendency to be grossly exaggerated.

BC Leo Awards, Best Student Production

Director's Bio

Sitji Chou is a freelance animator based in Vancouver. In 2011, he graduated from Emily Carr with a BMA in Animation, winning two animation awards that year: a Leo for Best Student Production for his thesis film, Peter & the Space Between; and the ITFS Animation Jam, co-produced with Kristen Campbell. He has since been part of several collaborative animation projects, such as Shane Koyczan’s “To This Day” project produced by Giant Ant Studios, and the Imogen Heap and deadmau5 crowd-sourced music video, “Telemiscommunication.” He has spent the last two weeks of September 2014 working as an animator with Team Generous, an annual charity event that collaborates with NGOs to produce a short for Habitat for Humanity Canada.
