FIXED POINT

 Colorway Productions and Static Sifting Films, in collaboration with Manderfilm, present an experimental mixed-media sci-fi short film written, directed, produced, and edited by Teresa-Esmeralda Sanchez.

​

Melissa is haunted by otherworldly beings who prey on her in her recurring cryptic nightmares. Her friend, Esteban, thinks he can help her decipher and find what's in her dream using an app called Quantum-Scounting. Together they confront her nightmare, but by the time she realizes her dreams have been a premonition, it's too late.

 

See the trailer below.

Fixed Point - Full Film 

Inspired by early experimental and surrealist cinema, and utilizing minimal digital effects, this film employs an analog visual technique known as direct animation. The video below shares unused animated material and then demonstrates the post-production process involved in creating this analog animation. It showcases the film being carefully scratched with an etching needle and selectively masked with rubber cement for bleaching, producing intentional disturbances in the film's emulsion.
