Night Night by The Last Great Hunt

Night Night takes you on an extraordinary adventure, blending puppets, animation, and DIY digital magic. Witness the onscreen story while experiencing the behind-the-scenes artistry as a theatrical film is created live in front of you.

From the creators of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer and New Owner, Arielle Gray and Tim Watts have teamed up with co-director Luke Kerridge and composer Rachel Claudio to present their newest creation, Night Night.

Highly visual and playfully cinematic, Night Night tells the heartwarming story of life, death and other dimensions. The Last Great Hunt tells the tale of Pip, a downtrodden Antarctic scientist on a quest to discover the origin of life. Haunted by visions of an albino penguin, she stumbles upon a hidden plane of existence that challenges everything she thought she knew. As her world unravels, Pip must team up with a mysterious, glowing entity to reveal the threads that bind life, death and the universe.

Using puppetry and digital trickery, Night Night probes the thin veil between worlds, taking inspiration from the many wondrous and terrifying things that occur both in reality and in our imaginations.
