“Ostracized by his village for being different, Fisher is a lonely being who lives in a small cabin at the edge of the sea. His world is turned upside down one day when in a twist of fate, he is forced out of his comfort zone and thrust into a journey of self discovery.
Directed By Yoram Benz, Music by Marcus Fischer (mapmap.ch).
Fisher is the first self-commissioned animated short film project from One Eyed Robot and has received critical acclaim internationally.
Industry Reviews
“Beautifully rendered, an intricate yet stylized peek into the world of a lonely fisherman. Haunting, strange… a cross between David Lynch and The Incredible Mr. Limpet. I like it.” – Jerry Beck, Animation Historian, Author
“Unbelievable talent. Marvelous graphic design, animation, mood, background, characters, and story.” – Paul Dopff
