Once again another magnificent animated short film that shows the extraordianry potential of animation as a storytelling medium. There's so much that can be visualized with animation techniques. Solar Plexus is a stop-motion short created by UK-based filmmaker David McShane. It was originally his graduation film from the Nfts in the UK, premiering in 2019 and playing at Cannes and numerous other festivals. It went on to win Best Sound Design awards over the past few years. In the film, Noah battles to overcome his grief at the death of his mother, a journey that takes him from his flat to beyond the stars. A mesmerizing short featuring stop-motion animated characters and oil paint for additional scenes. I really like the unique "neon green" look of the character, and the darkness of his flat. And the oil painting sequence is really stunning as well. The film is under 10 mins & worth a watch.

The brilliance of David McShane’s short animation Come is in how it takes a common locale of queer cinema, the hookup, and shifts it into something potentially life-altering. McShane’s film follows the character of Finn who, after taking a regular route into a hookup, finds that his personal axis has been altered. Through the tactility of his painterly animation style, McShane is able to take us through Finn’s journey via a unique intimacy where every touch and motion begets a newfound meaning. Directors Notes is proud to present the premiere of Come today accompanied by a chat where McShane details the conversations with his flatmate that the film was born out of, the process of making his character models with acetate, and the joy he found in sharing his small, bedroom-made short with audiences around the world.
