MidRiff

Neeraja Raj's animated musical comedy about an unexpected guest interrupting a romantic make-out session, positively encourages naval-gazing.

In the midst of a passionate moment, a young woman interrupts her make-out session to reveal an unusual secret residing in her bellybutton - a sentient lint! Armed with a mini ukulele and a knack for singing melancholic tunes, Lint begins to serenade them with a heartfelt ditty about life's unfairness.

Blending live-action with 3D stop-motion animation, original music and character-driven comedy, Neeraja Raj's short is an ode to insecurity, intimacy and the fluff we try to ignore.
