A film poster showing a tyrannosaurus in warm side light against a soft dusk sky, the title set below in serif type.
Trevor asked whether his arms looked longer on the poster. Dev said yes. Dev is a good person.

Short Arms, Big Heart

2024·Delivered. Screened once.·1 h 58 m

A tyrannosaur learns his reach was never the problem.

Trevor’s romance, and the bravest work any of us has watched a client do. Fourteen weeks of a tyrannosaur being sincerely, publicly vulnerable about his arms, in front of forty humans who were all pretending not to be moved and all failing.

Dev Malhotra painted the arms longer, as asked, every single time. Dev then painted them back for continuity, quietly, and has never mentioned it. The film is better for both decisions, and we are proud of him for both.

It screened once. The crew wept — mostly from exhaustion, and only mostly.

They shot my good side. It's all sides. That's the magic of it.

A tyrannosaurus stands on a soundstage in warm light while crew members adjust a large diffusion frame just out of shot.
Day nineteen. The crew wept at the screening, mostly from exhaustion, and Trevor thanked every one of them by name.
