FIVE CENTS - AARON HUGHES (2022)

Created by animator Aaron Hughes, the hand-drawn animation Five Cents was a success on the festival circuit with its Brave New World-influenced message. Of course, Brave New World has leaked into society generally and Hughes may not realise how closely elements of his film match the classic Huxley novel. Regardless, drawn on money-orientated newpaper pages, it sees a naive (in style and character) man introduced to money and commercialism, who soon finds himself out of his depth. Literally. If you like the animated short film Five Cents by Aaron Hughes be sure to rate it and share it!
