The End of Pinky

September 9, 2013 by Tessie van Hintum

directed by Claire Blanchet/

Pinky-Key
This short animation adapted from a short story by Heather O’Neill, who also narrates the film, follows three fallen angels seeking companionship in Montreal’s red-light district. The survivor of traumatic childhood experiences, Johnny is a handsome thief who finds himself drawn to Mia’s fragile beauty. Both have a soft spot for Johnny’s best friend and partner in crime, Pinky. But when one of Pinky’s endearing quirks sets off a tragicomic chain of events, Johnny plots his revenge with methodical detachment. Peopled with characters living on the margins of society, this film casts light on the frailty of human relationships. The film features hand-drawn pencil and pastel animation rendered in stereoscopic 3D.

“We captured a little bit of the feeling of Montreal under the streetlights by shooting it under the camera rather than scanning…”

– Claire Blanchet, director of The End of Pinky
