Description

directed by Teppei Ando | USA | 11 mins.

Baggage Claim is perspective bending animated film based on the true court hearings of Winnie Ruth Judd, notoriously known as the 'Trunk Murderess'. Winnie has but one final chance to clear her name and save her own life. Is she really the monster the public sees her as or simply a victim of circumstance? During the course of this film we have the chance to see from both sides of the blame. Her accusers say her brutal crime was done in cold blood. Winnie's version of the events is not so simple. Her dramatic revealing explanation may be her redemption, or perhaps through her deeper into the realm of the damned. Baggage Claim borrows elements from the classic Noir genre while creating something unique, nerve tingling and darkly comic.
