Glen is barely a man. In a desperate attempt to tap into his masculinity he attends a primal scream therapy session, surrounded by wailing men he cannot even make a sound. When another member of the class pushes Glen too far he finally lets something out- a miniature version of himself which does whatever it wants, regardless of the consequences.
Director
Simon's early animations combined his love of drawing cartoons and traditional hand drawn animation. He studied at Edinburgh College of Art, then directed a stop motion short film for Channel 4, THE ASTRONOMER'S SUN, the sets of which are on display in the National Media Museum. This led to an MA at NFTS, with MANOMAN as his graduation film.
