The divide between millennials and baby boomers feels as big as it ever has. With social media providing a voice to those whose opinions are better left unsaid, the noise and expectations from both ‘sides’ can be overwhelming at times. Animator Marnik Loysen, who also works at British animation powerhouse Aardman, channels this sense of an overly-saturated opinion culture into his latest short Brunch, about a young man who heads out to his local café to enjoy some avocado on toast before being inundated with the voices of varying generations around him. It’s a really funny film but it’s also poignant and spot-on in how it captures that snowed-under feeling that is present in contemporary society. Dn spoke with Loysen to learn about the origins of Brunch, why the generational divide is the perfect topic for a stop-motion format and the process of creating the film almost entirely remotely.
