Little Feet

Little Feet is a hymn to the way summer days stretch out forever in childhood, as our phlegmatic – and undeniably cute – heroes attempt to chaperone their goldfish across Los Angeles to the coast.

Lana and Nico have lost their mother, and their dad (played by the director) is a useless drunk who wears a panda suit for a living.

Little Feet is a hymn to the way summer days stretch out forever in childhood, as our phlegmatic – and undeniably cute – heroes attempt to chaperone their goldfish across Los Angeles to the coast. Frustrated with trying to get a ‘proper movie’ off the ground, Alexandre Rockwell decided to use various scraps of 16mm film to shoot a script developed with his seven year-old daughter, and ended up recapturing the energy and warmth of his breakthrough work In The Soup.
