Join Clown, Bear and Star, three neurodivergent characters, on their adventure to the circus. There will be big tops, candy floss, and even a musical number, but all is not as it seems in the land of puppets...

A short film that blends personal essay with unnerving imagery, in the hopes of taking the current narrative surrounding trans and queer people as ‘monsters’, and juxtaposing this with childhood videos, amusement parks, and slugs… ‘Monsters’ was inspired by queer-theory, such as Richard Dyer’s work on the queer-coding of vampires.
