The plot

Directed by Nikki Chapman

A macabre girl laments about the inevitability of death after being given a melting cartoon character popsicle.

Director Statement

My philosophy is to create the art I want to see in the world. I described “Melted” as the film I wanted to make since I was a kid. It shows that even an adorable, innocent little girl can have secret anxieties she’s dealing with inside. Growing up, I struggled a lot with anxiety and fear of death. “Melted” helped me confront those difficult feelings. It is a love letter to everything I’m a fan of- horror movies, stop motion, trippy animation, the color pink, ice cream, poetry, and more. I’m interested in combining the things I love to create something new.
