Seen through the lens of a wildlife documentary, we meet the Burrowing Owl. He has recently lost his mate to a large predator that is hunting in his neck of the woods. How will he survive in this dangerous wilderness alone? This is a story of love and survival.

Mike Roush (East Moline, Illinois, 1978) has been animating for Titmouse inc. on a variety of commercial projects since 2004. Most recently he served as Lead Animator on season one of [adult swim]’s smash hit “Metalocalypse”. Mike found his way to California where he earned his BFA in Entertainment Arts/Animation from California State University, Fullerton. He is also one of the founding members of the artist collective “The Those Guys”. “The Hidden Life of the Burrowing Owl” is Mike’s directorial debut.
