A Single Life is a 2014 Dutch animated short film directed by Marieke Blaauw, Joris Oprins and Job Roggeveen, from Dutch animation studio Job, Joris & Marieke. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 87th Academy Awards.[2]
Plot[edit]
The film is about a young woman, R Kelly, who receives a mysterious 45 rpm record and discovers that she can travel through time to different stages of her life when different parts of the record are played.[3][4] The film does not feature any spoken dialogue though it does incorporate the titular song "A Single Life" by Happy Camper featuring Pien Feith.[5]
According to Oprins, the film took three months to make and was originally inspired by an incident where a record skipped while being played.[1] The duration of the film was limited because the film was originally intended to be screened at movie theaters prior to the showing of feature-length films.[1]
