After more than a century, the toymaker’s wooden boy is still alive, languishing in a ramshackle basement apartment. The Woodman’s patchwork computer takes him online but for every lie he tells, his bramble of a nose grows. Trapped in this cage, the Woodman searches for a true connection and a chance to finally be real.
About the Director
Mike Jackson is an Emmy-nominated editor and an award-winning director of short films and music videos. He often works with long-time collaborator Peter New, and together they won the first Hot Shot Shorts competition (The Bar), the Reel-Fast 48-hour film competition (Frequency Zero), and the Bloodshots 48-hour Horror competition (Hell’s Habit). As a Director, Mike has always been drawn to the fantastical, especially modern fairy tales.
