Long Story Short(2025)

Long Story Short is an animated comedy that moves across several decades, cutting between childhood, adolescence, and adulthood to show how a single family accumulates its particular damage. The humor works through dramatic irony: you already know how a moment turned out before the characters do, so the laugh comes from watching them walk straight into it anyway.

Siblings, parents, spouses, and children each get their own angle on the same shared history, which keeps the story from settling into any one person's version of events. A pattern established in the 1990s quietly resurfaces in a marriage twenty years later, and the comedy lives in that gap between cause and consequence, between what a kid thought was harmless and what it quietly cost the adult they became.
