Fly Out Blue

A poignant 3D animated short that explores midlife crisis, urban pressure, and mental health. The narrative tracks an ordinary office worker and father who feels entirely trapped by a dull, exhausting cycle of endless overtime work. Overwhelmed by anxiety, he frequently brings his stress back home, causing constant friction and unhappiness within his family. He becomes deeply obsessed with the freeing sensation of flight, desperately wishing he could somehow "fly out" and escape this dark, suffocating blue depression. One evening, he unexpectedly crosses paths with a mysterious mystical sprite. Following a fierce, surreal chase, the sprite guides the father to the edge of a towering skyscraper, urging him to take a blind leap into the unknown. Standing at the precipice of the massive building, the father suddenly stops, caught in a wave of hesitation.
