Red


Red is an unusual take on a story we all know (and possibly love) – that of Little Red Riding Hood.  We are used to see the wolf as a villain but here he is a love lorn boy who desperately wants Little Red Riding Hood to reciprocate his feelings but cannot express himself very well at all.

Appropriately enough, the whole animated short is washed through with the color red.  I also like the way that elements of this have a very rough feel to them – particularly the rabbit unicorn rabbit.

This is the 3rd year Calarts film by Hyunjoo Song with music provided by Steve Mahpar.
