When a stick mom car decal is stripped away from her stick family at the car wash, she must take on the perils and pleasures of live-action suburbia in a transformational journey to return to her one-dimensional world.

SYNOPSIS:

UNSTUCK is a fun, fast-paced, animation-within-live-action, short film about a stick mom car decal that gets separated from her stick family, thanks to a careless carwash employee.

It all starts outside a modest suburban home, where a flock of birds has just pooped all over the family car (and the stick family decal on the back). What follows, is a trip to the car wash that changes the innocent stick mom decal forever. She is washed, rinsed and blown off the back window – then haphazardly tossed in a bin of toxic green goop which magically gives her life!

Unfortunately, the SUV drives away leaving our animated STICK MOM behind. This launches her into a desperate, high-speed, high-action journey to return to the back of the SUV.

It’s a series of eye-opening escapades for the mighty little figure who, until now, has never experienced adventure, danger, flirtation, loneliness or any other life-affirming moments because, well, she was just a decal stuck on a window.

The story follows our animated heroine through her perilous, and exhausting, encounters with the real world: speeding cars, a cop in pursuit, cyclists, joggers, a skate board, an angry dog, rowdy fans in a sports bar (and her first taste of vodka) – as she splats, scales, vaults, dodges, sips, flaps and soars triumphantly home.

But once she reaches her family, things aren’t as she left them -- and STICK MOM must complete one final task to reclaim her spot on the SUV.

It’s a light-hearted look at stepping outside of your comfort zone and the way we sometimes feel stuck in a one-dimensional life – not allowing ourselves to break free and experience all that life has to offer. Most importantly, it’s how getting unstuck changes us for the better.
