Shelf Life

When bread across the town of Custard Cove suddenly develops emotional awareness, an investigation unfolds to solve a crisis that challenges everything the town knows about food and consciousness. The mystery leads to an scientific experiment gone...right.

Set in the magical realism of the Crumb Canvas universe, this 4:36 second dark absurdist comedy uses documentary-style storytelling to explore the beautiful absurdity of existence through the lens of bread with emotions that still fulfills its destiny of being consumed.
