Do not watch "Hi Stranger" while high
by Rob Beschizza from on (#2GJ9H)
A short film written and animated by Kirsten Lepore, starring Garrett Davis. It's part of the Strangers anthology from Late Night Work Club...
... a loose, rotating collective of indie animators. That is, animators who do independent, non-commercial work. It's an excuse to bring a whole bunch of us together and make something great, and also to promote the work of the artists involved. Some of the best, most personal, experimental and vital animation going right now is happening on the internet. It's being made late at night when other people have gone to sleep and on weekends when everyone else is out. It's being made by students, freelancers, full-timers and folks with unrelated day jobs. It means something to us. It's our scene.
It's hard to describe; it makes me think Salad Fingers in Arcadia.
