"Watching Mysteries With My Mother" by Ben Marcus - An Electric Literature Single Sentence Animation

This is the first Single Sentence Animation from Recommended Reading, Electric Literature's new weekly fiction magazine.

Edwin Rostron animates a sentence from "Watching Mysteries With My Mother" by Ben Marcus. Music by Supreme Vagabond Craftsman.

The sentence: "We speak of having one foot in the grave, but we do not speak of having both feet and both legs and then one's entire torso, arms, and head in the grave, inside a coffin, which is covered in dirt, upon which is planted a pretty little stone."

Single Sentence Animations are creative collaborations. The writer selects a favorite sentence from his or her work and the animator creates a short film in response.
