FIXED POINT
COMING SOON - 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 other worldly 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.
Inspired by early experimental/surrealist cinema; in combination with limited digital effects, this film utilizes an analog visual effect called direct animation.
Direct animation, also referred to as drawn-on film animation, scratch film, or cameraless animation is a technique done by manipulating the film stock directly. Here you can see the test animation being practiced on some found footage.
