The Book Club
An animated love story that carries a deeper message about staying true to oneself.
The Book Club PBS Short Film Festival

The Book Club tells the story of Nigel and Ellie. Nigel lives alone, going about his daily life, with little thought for much beyond his garden fence. Until one day, Ellie arrives on his doorstep, offering a monthly book club subscription. Every time Ellie returns, Nigel attempts to impress her with a new outfit or act. Of course, this does not entirely go to plan.
