Out Of Hand

A surreal story about the tension between routine, control and creative freedom.

Story

A life moved by a giant hand.

Joe repeats the same cycle: waking, dressing, eating and making boxes. An overbearing giant hand controls the world around him—until he finds a creative outlet and begins to push back.

The film asks how structure and hard work can coexist with the freedom to make, imagine and choose.
