Check it out in the rest of this report and let us know what you think!
Written and directed by Timothy Reckart, this stop-motion animated short film comes from a team of eleven students who made the film over the course of 15 months.
In other words – it is a graduation film from the National Film & Television School, United Kingdom.
After many years of marriage, husband and wife Walter and Madge have grown apart: he lives on the floor and she lives on the ceiling. They live separate, parallel lives, never talking, barely even looking at each other. When Walter tries to reignite their old romance, it brings their equilibrium crashing down, and the couple that can't agree which way is up must find a way to put their marriage back together.
Head Over Heels features the voices of Nigel Anthony and Rayyah McCaul.

Very excited about seeing the full film, this looks great!
Can’t contribute much except that I loved head over heals. It is really one of them most inventive concepts I’ve seen and I really think an upset win for this one is much deserved.
I think ‘Adam and Dog’ will win, as it seems to be the most “artistic”.
I am 100% sure that “Paperman” will win.
