Through the magical combination of music, cameraless animation, and a digital transfer of scratched, painted, dyed, and drawn directly film stock, Pee Wee Herman & Cowboy Curtis (Laurence Fishburne) are transported beyond the fourth wall on a psychedelic adventure at Pee Wee's Playhouse. This is an experimental art film that laughs at itself while exploring alternative realities on multiple levels. The source material 35mm roll of film was one I had left over from my days as an animation DP (Director of Photography) working on Pee Wee's Playhouse. All the art-on-film animation was created by myself and five students (Shannon Brice, Alleanna Harris, Ben Howell, Bianca Lott, & Austin Myers) from my 2013 Object Animation class at U-Arts in Philadelphia. The film to digital transfer was done at Technicolor, Postworks in NYC.
The music is a live performance of the song "4 to 6 or 25" written and performed by Anonymous

Sorry I'm a little late with this but thank you for adding my film to your channel! I'm really glad that you liked it! In one of my animation classes, we had to experiment with scratching film and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed making it. Thank you, thank you again!
