The Mantis Parable

| USA | 8 MINUTES | No Dialogue
Animation
A lowly caterpillar is trapped in a bug collector's jar and desperately needs some help. An arrogant praying mantis eventually comes along to offer some advice, at which point the caterpillar realizes that the newcomer will need to be taught a lesson in humility. From story, to visuals, to music and sound, first-time filmmaker Josh Staub created this enchanting computer-animated film in its entirety during his spare time over the course of 18 months.
