It's Dark Outside

Synopsis:
It's Dark Outside by Tim Watts, Arielle Gray and Chris Isaacs. the team behind the multi award-winning the Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer has created another heartfelt adventure. Using puppetry, mask, animation and live performance, they deliver a grand epic western. As the sun sets, an old man and his noble tent go wandering into the wild. Swept up in a surreal world, he is on the run. Meanwhile a mysterious tracker has caught his scent. But while he can try and run away from the life he once knew, he can't hide from everything.
