Poignant and beautiful.

Gruff is a beautiful looking short, with a lovely message behind it.

The biggest selling point is the animation, and to say it is incredible is a huge understatement of the amount of care and love that went into making it. The movie is filmed using "Gekimation" style, papercraft models and set-pieces, with each movement of a character being done through intricate puppetry... I believe that there may only be one piece of CGI throughout, with that being an explosion, with everything else done using practical effects.

The creation of this short film was documented on Facebook by the creator, and it was an absolute pleasure to watch everything come together into one finished product.

The plot is simple but effective, concise, and emotional.

Gruff is a testament to hard work and passion for filmmaking.
