When do we start to worry about psychology? Usually only when we think we're going crazy, it's not too difficult to go crazy. We need to really understand what is happening in our mind. We resort to verbal expresión which offers up an infinite list of words, effects, symptoms.. suddenly you think you've got them all. The neurotic gives way to fear and fear to neurosis. This film is itself a means of therapy through the very act of creativity. I think there's still stigma attached to talking about mental illness, especially if it's your own. This is reflected in this film and by presenting it in a humorous manner it seems more frivolous. Comedy is just as serious a topic as mental illness, disparaging psychology, standardizing the individual until they become nothing more than an neutral puppet, puppets suffer less. Perhaps I felt compelled to make this film because I haven´t seen a psychiatrist .
This film was drawn using digital media and animated using the stop motion technique.
