Synopsis:

Peter’s life has been spent in both fascination and fear of his quickening perception of time with age. As he nears the end of his days, his interest turns to obsession and he undertakes progressively extreme measures to control and counter times increasing pace. Peter also discovers that if you repeat the word ‘fly’ for long enough it sounds like you’re saying ‘life’. This is of no real help to him. His answers lie in the brain of a beetle.

The Eagleman Stag is the BAFTA award winning Royal College of Art thesis film of director writer Mikey Please. Animated in monochrome stopmotion, the film consists of 115 separate sets made mostly of a mysterious white material, not previously know to have been used for stopmotion animation, found in the back of a cushion. Mikey collaborated closely with his brother Benedict who composed the soundtrack and score, as well as the vocal talents of cult actor David Cann who features as the
protagonist Peter Eagleman.
