Synopsis:
A split-screen separates the worlds of Jonathan Smallman, who is recording his online dating-profile, while next door, Phillip Button, the internet chef and hamster, is
noisily recording his new cooking video. Both characters have turned to technology
in their search for companionship and acceptance and it’s not entirely working. Until
something unexpected happens...

Description:

A bilingual film, it features the voices of British Actor and Comedian Tim Key ( Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa, BBC TV and Radio Series ‘Cowards’) and German Voice Actor
Detlef Bierstedt, the German voice of George Clooney (The Thin Red Line-
Der Schmale Grat/ One Day – Zwei An Einem Tag) amongst others.

‘Two Films About Loneliness’ is an independent collaboration between the
Animators Christopher Eales and William Bishop-Stephens who met at the Royal
College of Art in London while studying for an MA in Animation. Since then they
have worked together on film commissions, exhibitions and film projects.
