SCRATCH & SNIFF
A puppetry short film, an original project of my own.
Winner of Bristol 48hr puppet short film challenge, 2024

Scratch & Sniff is a short film, led by me, in collaboration with film-maker Jack Buck.

This short follows a lonely creature who receives a magazine through their letterbox. The aroma of a ‘scratch and sniff’ fragrance sample elicits a daydream of times less lonely and prompts a surprise delivery.
