Description
Summary:Against the Dying of the Light is an animated short about a salaryman who returns from the dead to his job, to the shock and horror of his colleagues. Mundanity soon wins out as his employer discovers the advantages of a dead employee, and eventually he is forced to reconsider his priorities in death. Done in traditional 2D animation with stylised character designs, this short film explores the following ideas: that cynicism soon seeps into miracles, that some things are more important than others, and that there is, almost always, a choice to be made.
