I'm currently editing together three new interviews from Bruce at his home in Seattle. I filmed them back in March and they kind of got shelved as other projects surfaced. The will be up before the new year. Interviews on Attempted, Bruce's comic, the leaf project, and the comic that frenches your mind, etc.

i made a copy of this when I stayed at Bruce's back in March. I was so happy when I found it and actually shot an interview with Bruce about that specific piece. I'll post the interview soon.

I love the fact that the sound/music track is such a beautiful marriage to Buce's animation...

Wowzers! Stonking animation - but what's it all about?

I like the way the motion is has a speed limit and nothing moves very fast, or for that matter very slowly either. It gives the sensation of being very very very monged indeed...

I love it. Different to Bickford's other works. Reminds me of BLU or Carl Krull.

The audio definitely helps when watching it for the first time, but on subsequent viewings I find that I'm tuning it out to focus on things happening visually that the audio is not drawing attention to.

Hmm, maybe not THAT nice. It would surely be a lot better if it was released on DVD or Bluray. I guess it was just really out-of-focus in the theatre.
