"Horizon Diner" by Joseph Crockett

Ever wanted to visit a diner at the center of the universe?
Check out this award-winning* animated short.

Waiting to place his order at a tiny greasy spoon, bookish Albert loses patience and sets out to get some answers. But a peek behind the scenes reveals something more sinister than a lazy waitstaff: optics and time just don't seem to behave here. Can Albert outwit his environment, or will this eerie eatery get the best of him?
Featuring original music written for the piece, Horizon Diner explores themes of reality, perspective, and identity through an offbeat imagining of quantum mechanics. So take a trip to the Horizon Diner- open 24 hours!

"Peaches Penumbra" by James Von Lenz, Joshua Lilly and Ryan Romano.

This makes me wish I could smoke dope at work.  Everything makes me wish I could smoke dope at work.

Always admire a director who can capture an audience in such a short amount of time. Joe does this with Horizon Diner.

This is really cool; I love the way you interact the music with the visual process to tell the story. Very neat man.
