College Central Saint Martins Course BA (Hons) Graphic Communication Design Graduation year 2025 Porcupine is a short film that explores themes of emotional repression, childhood memory, and self-discovery. At its core, the story revolves around the silence and emotional neglect often felt within families, and how it could leave an invisible wound on people. The story follows a young man after a falling out with his girlfriend, triggered by his emotional detachment. When he receives a letter from his younger self pointing him to a hidden time capsule in the forest, he embarks on a surreal journey guided by a forgotten map. As memory and reality begin to blur, he encounters his inner child and confronts his past. Blending experimental visuals with immersive sound design, Porcupine invites the audience into an introspective space. The film serves as a mirror for those with similar experiences, providing a quiet, emotional space for them to reconnect with their inner child and initiate the healing process.
