Marc Craste - JoJo in the Stars (2003)

Synopsis:
Jo Jo in the Stars is the heart-wrenching tale of two unlikely lovers - Jo Jo, a silver-plated trapeze artist, and a nameless hero who worships her. Together they make a desperate stand against murderous jealousy within a bleak and brutal world that is both nightmarish and hauntingly beautiful. The 12 min animated film short debut from Studio aka Director Marc Craste, Jo Jo in the Stars, was produced by Sue Goffe and independently funded & produced by Studio aka

History:
The film was developed as a project from the a series of short one minute animations called PICA TOWERS which themselves had grown out of elements of an idea pitched for some TV idents, which involved a mysterious tower populated by strange characters embroiled in a darkly comic murder mystery. Character and situation components that this series introduced formed the basis of the story that became JO JO IN THE STARS and it was the overwhelming response that the initial short films met with that encouraged Marc and Studio aka to further explore the world of Picas. After a period of development, aka took the decision to self-finance the project in its entirety and JO JO was put into full scale production in early 2003.
