Why this film matters
The premise turns a cartoon convention into a cost: every gag a rabbit character laughs off is absorbed, in secret, by a human actor. Set in 1930s Hollywood, the short makes physical comedy and its invisible labour the subject, and the official artwork stages that relationship in black and white with the actor dwarfed by the character’s shadow. Telling it in under four minutes depends on editing that escalates the stunts clearly.
OMNI International AI Film Festival named it winner of Best Editing at OMNI 1.5 Hyperphantasia in Sydney on July 3, 2026. The maker presents it as the opening part of a planned anthology called ANOMALIES; later instalments are not listed here.
Production evidence
The release credits writing and direction to Raphaël Alistair and states only that AI was used, without naming tools or collaborators. Those details remain unknown. The journal checked the full-release listing, synopsis and festival result; it has not watched the complete film.
