In June 2023, Cute Rockett embarked on its first short film, The Nightlife of Hands. The film, an interesting dive into the unseen motions of life’s quiet moments, gained a small following, with a unique and fun story and artistry. But as of November 2024, production has been paused—a necessary decision amid the challenges of today’s competitive job market and the team’s limited time.
Reflecting on the project’s journey, Cute Rockett embraces a mix of melancholy and optimism. Pausing The Nightlife of Hands was not easy, especially as the story was beginning to take shape in ways only made possible by the team’s dedication.
"This film is deeply meaningful and it deserves the time and resources to be realized fully."
The film’s journey, however, is far from over. Cute Rockett is committed to resuming production, aiming to secure grants and build a wider online community to gather support. Plans are underway to expand The Nightlife of Hands into a crowdfunded project that will give it the budget and space it needs to thrive.
Though it’s on pause, The Nightlife of Hands stands as a promise—a vision that will continue its journey, strengthened by a renewed foundation. And when Cute Rockett is ready to bring it back to life, its next chapter - as well as the studio's - will be even brighter.
Stay tuned and curious
