Carmen - 40 Seconds Straight People's Choice Nominee
The complex opera Carmen is simplified into a 40 second animation.
Director: Jean-Pieree Jacquet
The 40 Seconds Straight film competition saw Direct Line team up with Raindance to look for short films that take one of life's many overly-complicated situations and make it straightforward.
The brief was for original content that celebrates simplicity; depicting a life without the complications and confusion that most of us are only too familiar with.
