See all Show me
One day at breakfast, a man's soul bursts out of his eyeball. While the soul roams the earth eating everything in sight, two wild deer bathe and dress the man's catatonic body.

A surreal meditation on the quirky but rejuvenating nature of friendship.

    Hey thanks for the review, Melvin!

    To follow up on one of your points--I didn't really set out to make a comedy or drama, I just tried to make something that was straight from my guts. It started out very much a slapstick comedy, but in the end the stuff that resonated the most with me was the deer, so I expanded their roles. I guess that's how I got the odd mix--hopefully this echoes the dissonance between the manic dr breakfast and the catatonic pj man, even though they're just different parts of the same person.

    thanks again for watching!
