Freaks of Nurture

Lemay, Alexandra, (film director.). Mohammadian, Maral, (film producer.). Fukushima, Michael, (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: Freaks of Nurture is an animated short about a neurotic mother-daughter relationship inspired by the filmmaker's own unorthodox upbringing with her single-parent mom, who is also a foster parent and dog breeder. Self-deprecating and bursting with energy, the film reveals that no matter how grown-up we think we are, we never quite stop craving the love and support of a parent.
