Re-watched Fassbinder’s World On A Wire over the weekend. The Matrix before The Matrix.

Having mental health struggles this week: free-floating anxiety over nothing in particular, and some depression regarding getting my films into film festivals and thinking maybe I need to do something else with my life if these films aren’t selected this time around. My work doesn’t program easily!
A still from 5002 Space Aliens that captures how I’m feeling this week. FUN! A stylized red and pink woman in glasses, screaming. IT ME.

Center bottom: stylized red person makes a dance move while wearing a fedora. Upper center, large: the words POINT OF NO RETURN in orange. Smaller: the words WE DON’T KNOW in a red circle where the O in NO should be. Upper right: the words EARN EXTRA MONEY partially blocking the word RETURN. On fluffy peach paper. NICE!

Wow: since I completed 5002 Space Aliens in early July, I’ve completed another eight minutes of animation (all in one-second chunks) I like! And also about a minute of meh. :-D

So here’s an animated gif to celebrate:

Working on some groovy animation today; here’s a still!

Meanwhile: two film festival notify dates coming this week—one for the feature, and one one for the short. Think good thoughts for me!
