‘Marvin was born with a hole in his head,
He wasn’t born stupid he was born dead...’
Based on a concept by Frank Pudney and told in rhyming narration Marvin is the story of a young boy born with a perfectly round hole in the middle of his forehead. He learns to live with, and even utilise, his unusual extra orifice, until one fateful day... something falls out!
 
The film is a 2D computer animated short, with design inspired by classic 50’s cartoons and children’s book illustrations.
