Tokyo University of the Arts grad Masaki Okuda (now Montreal based) created this insanely unique animated short as his first-year film back in 2010. With a distinctive art style, the story of Kuchao, or, a Gum Boy, is about a loner little boy. The animation is slightly jarring at first, with it's shakiness that made me wonder if I was seeing things (or gonna have a seizure or migraine), but it's style and sing-songy narration kept me going. Within the plot, I felt that little Kuchao's situation is one we've all been in at some point: the lone kid in a world all their own.
