The stop motion project that I wrote/directed last year will finally go live this Tuesday! I initially tried making this 7 years ago in my office, but the set would get messed up by my cats constantly (there was no keeping them out of the office hahahaha). This is truly a labor of love for me. To be honest, all of my team insisted I do not do it. Because stop motion is hella expensive (I basically spent everything I made on Youth & Consequences on this 4 minute short) and though it IS a proof of concept for a movie, there is doubt all around that I will ever get to make a stop motion movie.
But I was in a really, really bad place last year and just needed to make stuff to deal. And intuitively, a stop motion short felt like it was right to me. Like it was finally time. Though this cost an absurd amount of money, it has contributed to the reason I'm still alive today. (For those of you who don't know, last year I also made When I've Wanted To Die. I did dolor right after that to keep myself going).
None of this would be possible without the support I get from people who watch my content. I know I lead an incredibly privileged life of making art and sustaining my living off my craft. I hope you know the depths of my gratitude for this life and also those who support me.
I hope you like it. Like all the things I make, this one has some dark undertones. But it's also whimsical, beautiful, visually compelling, and makes you think. I'm so, so fucking proud of this. Thank you
