Cracked

Cracked is a wordless animated film exposing the hidden cruelty behind “cage-free” egg production. The narrative is driven entirely by Radiohead’s Exit Music (For a Film). The track’s gradual build from quiet fragility to overwhelming intensity structures the film’s emotional arc. As the music expands, the hen’s imagined pastoral world fractures into an industrial system of cages and machinery, transforming a familiar song into the emotional engine of the story.
