Description: Our project, We’ll Be Right Back, is a short animated film that blends comedy and paranormal horror to explore the unsettling side of consumer culture. Our story follows an old man, alone at night, flipping through channels, coming across commercials of couches, fast food, and beer—familiar but unsettling. As the ads shift into disturbing footage of his own home, reality and TV start to blur. What begins as mindlessly channel-surfing spirals into paranoia, ultimately pulling him into the void of the TV.
