FUTURE FEELING
Short film using live-action paper puppets and environments
Produced by Manual Cinema

Equal parts haunted-house mystery and climate fiction, Future Feeling tells the story of family who wakes up on a Nantucket beach to find a mysterious house--with no memory of how they got there. As the parents retrace their footsteps to remember the past, the children discover an oncoming storm that threatens to destroy their future.
The film had its world premiere at the Nantucket Film Festival in June 2025
