other · 2026-04-27

British director Catherine Prowse has created an animated short film titled 'Nobody is Normal' for Childline, a UK counseling service for young people. The one-minute wordless video follows a boy who wears a mask to fit in with his classmates, only to reveal his true identity. Inspired by Radiohead's 1992 song 'Creep,' the film explores feelings of alienation and the universal experience of not belonging. It conveys the message that no one is truly normal, and that is okay. The short was published on Artribune in November 2020.
