THE JOLLY DOT

A SHORT FILM

A BROMANTIC LOVE LETTER TO THREE OF MIKEY PLEASE AND DAN OJARI'S CULTURAL HEROES AS A WAY OF CELEBRATING RICHARD WILLIAMSʼS 80TH, IVOR CUTLERʼS 90TH AND NORMAN MCLARENʼS WOULD-BE CENTENNIAL BIRTHDAY.

Co-Directed with Dan Ojari @ PARABELLA

I also wrote this accompanying article for SIGHT AND SOUND exploring my deep fandom: A SERIES OF STUMBLES

OJARI AND PLEASE HAVE THIS TO SAY:
'WE CHOOSE TO ANIMATE A MONKEY, AND DO THE OTHER THINGS. NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE EASY, BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE HARD. BECAUSE THAT GOAL WILL SERVE TO ORGANISE AND MEASURE THE BEST OF OUR ENERGIES AND SKILLS. BECAUSE THAT CHALLENGE IS ONE WE ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT. ONE WE ARE UNWILLING TO POSTPONE. AND ONE WE INTEND TO WIN.
