“From Behind” is the first episode in what is supposed to be a series of animated shorts titled WORKU. So far there has only been a trailer made for the second segment. The creators insist, though, that they have not given up on the project.

Speed Levitch, who appeared in the certified weird film, Waking Life, has gained a cult following since the mid 90’s for his unconventional philosophical ideas, and his ability to articulate them.
In “Epidermis” Speed refers to the city (as he often does) as a living and self-aware object that often goes unnoticed, and unappreciated. Whether he is insightful or completely mad will have to depend on the viewer’s verdict. Either way he is, at the very least, intriguing.

Joseph Pierce has a knack for not only coming up with powerful stories, but also making them ever more indelible through his grotesque animation. In his latest release, “A Family Portrait”, a photo shoot turns to chaos when the bottled up emotions of a dysfunctional family are released.
If you like what you see here, and aren’t offended by adult content, be sure to check out Pierces’ previous short “Stand Up” (2008).
Under the alias BiPolar, Dirk Driesen has released a number of animations which are often accompanied by a calm, mysterious soundtrack. His latest video, “The Zebras from Peenemuende”, consists of several dark images including a futuristic pilot, a missile being launched, and, of course, a herd of zebras.
