Recycled, Senior Thesis film
Likely 30 minute short film HD format. Synopsis: A paper recycling worker fresh of out college moves into an apartment building that doesnt have a recycling pickup. He collects paper from all the residents, its a small 5 unit building, and gets to know most of them this way. There is one girl in the building he has barely gotten an in-obscured glance at who leaves most intriguing illustrated recyclings that enchant him and eventually fuel a hallucinogenic, paper, stop-motion animated, obsession with her. Thematically its about the frailty of humans having personal identity crises. The film also capitalizes on the fact that the apartment is supposed to be a place of community, as it is only a 5 unit apartment, yet everyone is alone. Because the land lady doesnt allow many to bring their significant others up to their rooms or in the building they are not friendly with her and vice-a-versa. Together but alone.
