animation
(USA, 2008, 29 mins)
16mm
Wisconsin Premiere
Directed By: Jodie Mack
Almost certainly the only stop-motion musical about the housing crisis, Jodie Mack’s handcrafted animation will speak to anyone who’s ever tried to get their feet on the ground. Young newlyweds pour their heart and souls into their starter home, but find the cold reality of bills interfering with their nascent domestic bliss. A welcome respite from the computer animated monotony clotting our multiplexes, Mack’s vision of suburbia as stop-motion wonderland is utterly unique. If only real-life problems were so charming. Jodie Mack is a Chicago-based artist working in various forms of cut-out and stop-motion animation.
