This short film is included in the following package(s): SHORTS: NIGHT CRAWLING


Masterfully baked by Alex Boya, with all characters twitchily voiced by Jay Baruchel (BLACKBERRY, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON), this frenetic fresco of satire skewers the hypocrisies of corporate propaganda and its incessant kneading of a stale society into devouring whatever it is fed — literally.

BREAD WILL WALK is a relentless fever dream of fear and loafing. With deliciously dark humour, this surreal chase unfolds in a constant morph of hand-drawn chaos, mirroring a world unravelling under the weight of society’s paranoia. 

The planet is starving, but a corporation called The Mill has the solution: miracle bread. Except it turns those who eat it into walking loaves of bread. A devoted sister tries to save her little bread-brother, who’s being pursued by a hungry mob.
