  • GRUFF is a handmade, paper short film I've been designing, building, puppeteering, and editing across almost three years. It's a story about the people you know love you, but aren’t exactly verbal about it. It’s how I've processed my dad’s passing, and learned how to love people who don't love exactly like me.
    I believe we all have individuals in our lives, related or not, that pride themselves as the "strong silent types". Through this short film, I hope all of us can learn to empathize, connect, and more deeply love the those who have so much more to say than we think, and just need us to listen.
    I hope you enjoy "GRUFF".

      I really liked gruff although I don’t know why it’s called gruff if anyone see’s this please tell me why if you know but my opinion on the movie is that it was great the only thing I didn’t like is that it was a bit woke I honestly thought it was gonna be an hour long but 10 minutes is still pretty good I mean I know the trials and errors of making an animation so I can blame him but overall my rating is 8.5/10

    I’m sobbing because my Pop (grandfather) passed away last month, 3/15, and this reminded me so much of him. He ALWAYS used to watch old westerns and was under-spoken but always loved and cared for us so deeply. I came into this short film just because of the paper-puppetry style, completely clueless that it would encompass my Pop so well. Thank you for putting so much hard work into this project ❤

    Wow, I'm in tears. This short really touched me. This is my life! My relationship with my old man. I really want to go back home to visit him. My old man is just like the dad in the short. Very quiet, and doesn't communicate his emotions at all. I always feel unloved by my dad. He's always been so cold and distant no matter what. When I tell him my major accomplishments. He just says "that's good" and nods his head. That's all I never get from him.
    Now that I have my first apartment, I've become the main character of this short. I don't communicate with him. I don't visit. I don't call. I basically gave up because I felt like he didn't care. Also, just like the dad in the short, he got sick from old age. He doesn't do much but sit around and watch TV all day. He always watches old movies and shows. Especially Jackie Chan and Tom and Jerry. Ever since I was young, that's all he does. Watch old school tv, or watch repair videos on youtube.
    This short made me realize that my dad does care, he just cares in his own way. Just like the old man in the short, he always keeps my accomplishments. Every metal I've won. All of my drawings I made for him. My birthday dress from when I was 1 years old. My graduation cap and gown etc. Things I've bought him over a decade ago, he still has and he takes good care of it. I remember me and my mom sewed him an traditional garment, and he worse it for 15 years until it was torn to shreds and he refused to get rid of it. My mom ended up throwing it away in secret. Now I realize why he was so upset when he couldn't find it. It never dawned on me that it was sentimental. This short gave me a perspective I never saw. Now I see that he cares. He just doesn't communicate it.
    I don't know how to thank the creator of this channel. ❤

    A tiny detail that meant the world to me. A close family member with cancer drew a tree in our kitchen wall with a beautiful shade of blue behind it. I grew up admiring it. They soon passed on, and that was decades ago. It looks just like the trees behind the father during the hospital scene. That's what tipped the scales for me. The tree was painted over when we lost the house. It was nice to see something so similar again. Beautiful story.

    This film almost made me cry, which i never do, because it reminded me so much of my uncle in the last few years of his life. He was my father figure since i got unlucky and had a dad i wish left. He had glyoblastoma, a rare incureable brain tumor, so it made it hard to talk or really do much, but we all still knew he loved us. My mom was in the room when he died, and held his hand in his final moments. She was the only other person in the room.

    I love how the super-spy's action and praise is described as "living LOUDER", how she craved and chased the SOUND of applause, but found the deepest love in *silence.* The narration unifies the theme with its own language. And an even deeper irony is that this film's most demonstrative moments aren't characters exchanging witty dialogue, but them quietly touching hands and being close. The narration describes the characters' mindsets, and then the visuals deliver the gut punching catharsis.

    I came for the art, stayed for the story. I lost my grandpa last december. And he didn't talk much. He loved it when i called, but he was always the one to say: okay, that's it for now. I lost my parents when i was young and my grandpa was the only one that made me feel like there was someone out there to genuinely happy for me. That my happiness directly impacted his. His house was a little museum of pictures and achievements. As a small kid his old age and limited babbling bored me. But i am so thankful that i grew to appreciate him for what a beatiful person he was. Thank you creating something so beautiful that i can recognize this feeling in that i cannot even express in words.

We live in the same house and I think my cats have longer conversations with me than he does. I never knew it was abnormal until I saw my friend talk and hold eye contact with her father. The resentment I felt after witnessing that was absolutely shattering.
    This movie made me cry… idk if i will ever get to have a normal relationship with my dad, but im so glad this movie exists to put my heart at rest. Not everyone needs to say i love you or hug you. Sometimes actions are deeper.

    The things i felt in 9 minutes is more than i allow myself to feel in an entire day. I can only sum it up with one word and that is, "beautiful"

    I want to say, "Stop making these beautiful masterpieces, because you will make me cry!" But now I noticed sometimes you just need to cry!

    The fact that this guy put three years in this and he did this alone and we didn't have to pay for it is amazing itself
