AniFab 22 Official Selections

The Lobster - Short Animation - USA

9/4/2022

​Here's the pinch, Daddy ate my pet lobster.

​
It's never easy to say out loud you have a phobia of seafood. It is not a preference or an ethical decision, but one defined by a visceral reaction I get from the smell and awareness of seafood around me.

​I created The Lobster to help empathize with others with my experience. With Live action films, we often see performers who have a brand and voice they bring to their art. However, in animation, while still being specific with a character, there still is a level of abstraction that allows for enough non-representational qualities for the audience to subconsciously project and bring their own experience into the characters. This film is my attempt to bring some clarity to others about what I experience anytime a certain smell creeps into my nose.

Director Marshall Brock
​Born and raised in Austin, Texas, Marshall Brock's sense of hospitality has never left him.

Being from a town that has been changing faster than a news cycle, Marshall has found comfort and closure in processing events through his storytelling. A firm believer that the best writing comes from life experience, Marshall’s initial introduction to the world after high school, was EMT training. He recalls this experience where he experienced his greatest lessons in life, and where storytelling became a necessity for him.

​In between his formative years and when life brought him back to Austin. Marshall lived in Chicago, Illinois, where the can-do attitude of the city inspired him to get things done. When he is not animating or writing he is working as a Software Engineer developing mobile apps and programming exercise equipment.
