Lobster Man
Lobster Man is a surreal animated short film divided into chapters that tells the adventures of a lobster man who encounters various marine creatures. Each creature has the ability to create a peculiar sound. A talent manager discovers the protagonists and forms The Cacciucco Orchestra, eventually bringing them to perform at their first gig, marking the beginning of a long career.
The “cacciucco” is a typical Italian dish, a fish stew originally created using fish and shellfish scraps. It's a mixture that forms a delicious dish, creating something that is greater than the sum of its parts. The film has been selected for Giffoni Shock, Cartoons Underground, Caribe Atomico, la Guarimba, Animation Club House.
