- They were only the random fragments of a man's wet brain. Film-maker Aaron Stielstra has glued them together, and the results are finally here; a collection of dysfunctional ideas, songs, and visuals.
- How wet can a man's brain be and still create? In this collection of short films, some of them fragments, the random topics are COVID, guitar pedals, auditions turned vulgar, spirituality and chickens. Director Aaron Stielstra does nothing to create transitions, so the overall effect is like hearing random sounds with words and images in between. One word: powerful.—Hugh Bennie 777
- In more than 30 short films and outbursts of image with mono soundtrack, the current times in America are depicted. The characters are real. The chickens and other livestock are real, as well. No animated character is too insignificant or too grotesque to validate director Stielstra's vision, and no live action character goes unaccompanied by plenty of unique folk-punk music on the soundtrack. A hobo learns the value of a bus pass, a carlino learns to fly, an anti-Covid protestor loses her voice, a wizard helps a musician find hope, a cowboy describes his father's uterus, various actors fail at auditions yet learn to survive, and an old women attacks her obnoxious stepson. The struggles of the lower classes are examined and often abandoned, because why not? There's always bad taste to be depicted, instead, alongside blasts of loud guitar and drums. It's a movie that has almost everything for everybody--everybody who is heavily medicated and deeply resentful toward popular entertainment. And this includes "Friends". Warning: high decibel levels have been determined to increase mental discomfort in sensitive viewers unaccustomed to movies with 4.67 mono soundtracks. This being a feature with such a diverse and unpredictable sound mix. The music, alone, is a collaboration between dissonant tones and squeals and heartbreaking melodies. "The movie has a ridiculously long summary that almost negates watching it, but don't be discouraged. Once you start watching, you can't stop. Even to just look at your phone." says critic Roland Peterson of the Weber Falls Crier. And this has been echoed by critics all across America and parts of Mexico. The finale packs a punch as dinosaurs fly through space, a visual highlight created by a 100+ team of professional animators. What may appear to be low budget grime is actually a movie with a lot to say and a lot to discharge.
