After playing across many film festivals the last year, American filmmaker / model / actress / artist Lauren Tsai's short film The Dying World is now available to watch on YT. It's only 5 mins and is made with puppets / stop-motion and some 3D animation. Astrid and her only friend Crow sit waiting in a world of all that is forgotten.

When she finds a door to her childhood bedroom, she feeds what’s left of it to her only friend, Crow, who wonders how much longer she can live in these fragmented realities."
