'Things We Miss In The Moonlight' Boosted Campaign Launching

A Boosted Campaign for 'Things We Miss In The Moonlight' goes public on July 8th.

Co-produced by Wiftie Tayla Randall, the film is a sci-fi, comedy, 3D animated short film that reimagines Aotearoa in a post-apocalyptic community run by household service robots after the disappearance of humans. 

Set in a 1950's retro-future Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland, the story follows Buddy, a controlling household service robot. When her mutated rat companion - One-Eye - brings her an unidentified sapling, they struggle to make it grow and Buddy is faced with the choice to break out of her programming or stay stuck in her ways.

The film is the brainchild of One-Eyed-Rat Studios, a 3D animation production team founded by a crew of young artists during their final year at university. Since graduating, they have grown to 26+ recent graduates and creatives who love 3D animation and film, and want to continue working on projects and bring new and unique stories to life.
