Based on the comic from Noah Van Sciver, this short was adapted and directed by Allen Cordell. It tells the tale of Harvey (Sky Elobar), a man with no true responsibilities who meets his strange son Nathan (Jared Boghosian). As they explore the Laughing Lizard rock formation, Nathagets the courage to ask his father why he abandoned their family. It's tense and strange and wonderful, a mix of well-shot live action and some beautiful animation that creates an unexpected twenty minutes of joy. I plan on seeking out the comic book now to see how close the filmmaker got to capturing it and if there's any more of the story to discover.
