Little Guys

“Homunculus” a creepy experimental stop-motion film created over a 4 month period by the directing collaborative Hydra at the New York based production company Humble.

Conceived of and directed by Sam Stephens, Homunculus is a dark and twisted fable of spontaneous generation and untrammeled id. Taking its title from the Latin word for “Little Human”, the piece is an associative mashup between the two concepts behind the word: The first being middle-age alchemical beliefs that “little men” could be spontaneous generated from dead or decaying matter. The second being Carl Jung’s usage as a personification of pure id. These ideas, combined with our love of Dutch still life’s “beautiful decay,” sowed the seeds for this unique little monster of a film.

Lifted completely and directly from Laughing Squid.

I couldn't help but notice visual similarities to KVC's descriptions of her "little guys."
