Still need to get my hands on “Absentia” and it’s a shame that more of his work isn’t available on disc, but I love having @mikeflanaganfilm.com’s physical media! Just watched “The Life of Chuck” commentary last night and teared up a lot.

I’ve been itching to jump back into horror lately 🕷️🕸️🐺🌕 WOLF SPIDER is a 15 second short I made with a friend a few years back! It was so fun to do our own spin on a “werewolf” transformation.

This ADAPT OR DIE mentality is AI brain rot. Success in the future is being able to do what AI can't, or being able to do it better than AI ever could. Embracing it and letting it do the heavy lifting is defeatist mentality. And those artists will be the first to be replaced.

This is something I was proud of City of Ghosts for, released in 2021. It gave people good feelings and it encouraged kids to follow history from the people who lived it. It made people fill with feelings and had kids and their parents watching together. I’m forever grateful I got to make it.
This week, @freeblackgirl.bsky.social wrote about films & TV shows that present collectivism and fighting together as a solution to the horrors of inequality and violence. "Collectivism and hope are the only way to survive dark times," she writes.
THE TIDES This short was the most fun reminder to just cut loose and make something. Conceptualized as a bit while admiring a half moon on a late night drive, I got to drop some self seriousness and just do something silly.

Slowly rereading the Redwall books has been a beautiful addition to my adult life. My fiancée and I end our days with a chapter or two each night, and just finished Mossflower 🐭 🏰
Was just introduced to @goodkidband.bsky.social and have become obsessed with their animated music videos. Great art is being made all around us!

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared
They said it would take 193 years to clean London’s air. We did it in nine. 💨 London has now met legal limits for nitrogen dioxide air pollution.
The last four animated feature Oscar winners have been quite diverse picks now that Disney/Pixar has lost its stranglehold on the category
EVERYTHING GOES TO THE FISH It’s been about 7 years since we made this short and it remains one of my favorite things I’ve ever gotten to do. We had fun with puppets and cool lighting, and I even got to noodle on accordion and violin for the score! 🐟

VISITOR FROM ANOTHER WORLD, a short that I directed in college is what I consider my “first film”. It was the first time I felt my own voice come through and I finally saw myself in my art ❤️🚀🤖

Iwao Takamoto was one of the Disney greats. Films like Sleeping Beauty owe a lot to his meticulous lines. The studio was a kind of home for him -- it was a big change. Just before, he'd been in the camps. We explore the story: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/takamoto-a...
Check out DECOMPOSER: A Graphic Novel being made by some super rad folks. I’ve had the pleasure of reading the screenplay and it was phenomenal!

A parasite that has taken over the mind and body of a realtor in southern Appalachia yearns for the impossible, to be human.

An incredible read exploring one of my favorite pieces of media!
After two decades, Samurai Champloo's soundtrack is still iconic. Its influence is everywhere. Shinichiro Watanabe loved underground hip hop -- and he hired artists like Nujabes to create music that doesn't just fall into the background. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-music-...
A giant dog from space?!?! COSMO is the first short film my fiancé and I got to make together. It was our pandemic project and I’m still so charmed by the handmade world we created together with our sweet little man, Charlie ✨🐾🚀

I never remember anyone saying “Did you see the latest Reiner?” like you would hear with Spielberg, Cameron, etc. But undoubtedly made one of your favorite movies. He had a special eye for humanity that built cinematic cathedrals from small-scale stories like MISERY and WHEN HARRY MET SALLY.
10 years of American Halloween 🎃 We made this short film back in college with very little money and an incredibly supportive group of friends. In the decade since, it has become our most viewed short on YouTube. I’m grateful to everyone who has watched and connected with it over the years.
