Social Butterflies  
(ANIMATION– 3 hours, 53 minutes)
Jim Gaylord

This creative puppet animated short film looks at ulterior motives, insincerity and the manipulative ways people use to get what they want.  Devoid of dialogue, the actions are an allegorical presentation of the theme.  The “plot” involves three figures who happen upon a solitary building amidst a desolate landscape.  Inside they discover three other figures and the opportunity to finesse something out of them.
