“Hand Job” - Dark Comedy Short Film
After an attempted suicide, a sentient hand must save its body from certain death.
the story
There are times in life when asking for help can feel unimaginable, particularly when struggling with mental health. Hand Job is a surrealist passion project that developed from exploring this theme in an artful and uniquely wacky way. This short film has heart, humor, special effects and, most importantly, it was created by a team of 43 wildly talented Chicago artists who agreed to work on a film called "Hand Job."
