Stitched is a surreal, genre-bending short film that explores love, grief, and denial through the lens of classic television. Set within the artificial perfection of a black-and-white 1950s-style sitcom, the film follows Donna Baker—a warm, witty housewife—whose world begins to fray at the seams, both metaphorically and physically. Humans and Jim-Henson-inspired puppets coexist in this glossy, laugh-tracked reality, but beneath the surface lies a far darker story stitched together by obsession and loss.

In a near future dominated by augmented-reality eyepieces, a troubled young man who suffers from agoraphobia experiences an unlikely transformation when he comes across a mysterious app that transforms every facet of his life into a game.
