Under the constant watch of The Eyes, Misha lives within an environment of constant fear and hypervigilance. They live this way until they are interrupted in their work one day when a creature in the old vent above their station drops fragments of an image that changes the world as Misha knows it.

Through both live and stop motion 3D and 2D puppetry, Ernest the circus mouse learns that doing the most dangerous of stunts to gain recognition from strangers can lead to the most tragic fates.

Created for the LA Guild of Puppetry's 48hr Puppet Film Project 2021, A Game of Fate is a short puppetry film that utilizes the project's theme (gratitude), object (wood), and action (laugh) to show the unique challenge Ernest faces and the game he must play to keep his life with the help of an unexpected ally.

Wanting to end her life, a woman offers herself to a mysterious creature that feeds on deer in the woods -- but after surviving the attack, she begins to fear she may now be doomed to undead immortality.

A lonely creature learns patience when it comes to making a friend.

Set to the song Paranoimia by Art of Noise, Misha struggles to fall asleep until two unseen helpers arrive.
