Add a dash of Where the Wild Things Are to taste.
Mix ingredients to dilute. Shoot results on Super 16 for Authenticity™. Round out the dish with Hype and Self-promotion and serve.
Yawn.
hella dull.
I don't understand the significance of shooting this on super 16mm. The youtube video looks pretty bad and in an age where things like this are premiered digitally you would think that the best solution would be either to start digitally or at least get a higher rez output. Perhaps there's a better copy of this somewhere.
Plus, it's all in the wrong aspect ratio - so they all look like little squashed trolls. Whoops!
