Spectacle is proud to present HEAD SPACE, a showcase of animated works exploring dimensions both interior and outlying. Featuring an extremely talented and creative group working in a diverse array of styles, the shorts wander through strange and sometimes sketchy landscapes, including alternate-universe appliance stores, the ramblings of Charles Manson, environmental catastrophes in the Dutch style of painting, and a houseplant’s musings. Some, like Sally Cruikshank’s Make Me Psychic, are established classics; others feature newer animators working in looping GIF format, presented away from the small screen’s momentary pleasures to fully appreciate the art that it is. Occasionally gross, often beautiful, and always interesting, HEAD SPACE is a sampler of the thoughts happening inside and out of each frame.

I heard this song on Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Show and just had to animate to it. The lyrics were a bit odd when I really listened to them, but the rhythm was a treat. - Sally Cruikshank

Марку и Джесси везет в жизни. У них есть все, о чем можно мечтать: счастливый брак, прекрасная работа, и недавно приобретенный дом в Санта-Монике почти на берегу океана, в котором они могут наслаждаться одиночеством вдвоем. Но вот один за другим к ним на постой потянулись многочисленные родственники, число непрошеных гостей достигает критической точки, и уютное семейное гнездышко превращается в настоящий «сумасшедший дом». Супруги не только должны спать на кухонном полу и терпеливо дожидаться позволения войти в собственную ванную — они даже не могут побыть наедине друг с другом. И когда один из гостей приводит в дом слона, терпение Марка и Джесси окончательно лопается: вооружившись подручными средствами, они открывают против своих незваных гостей боевые действия…

Candy commercial. With lyrics like, "chewy, delicious, bigger than your finger," or was it "bigger than you figure"? Anyway, I designed and directed this commercial right after Ruthless People. A number of very talented animators working at Playhouse Pictures did the animation. The product never took off-- it was like chewing gum, but you swallowed it.

"I made this film when I went to the San Francisco Art Institute, after graduating from Smith a semester early. It was my reaction to California. "Sweeping the Clouds Away" is sung by Charles "Buddy" Rodgers, who was Mary Pickford's husband. huh? who? The doctored photo was of an astronaut on the moon-- I thought he looked like a duck and made him one. From 1971... yikes!"
