Primus – Candyman (Official Video) I got pretty excited when I first heard that San Francisco-based rock back Primus would be doing their own twisted spin on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Primus & The Chocolate Factory) a few years back. Not just because I enjoy their unique sound, but also because their music videos […]

Bringing Up Bigfoot Written, animated and voiced by Edward Coughlan Bringing Up Bigfoot is an incredible short film—a combination of 2D animation and claymation—that finds two hunters talking to a reporter in the woods about Bigfoot.

Imagine the original Ghostbusters films but with a splash of Reservoir Dogs… plenty of f*cks, bloody violence and black and white monologues. And if that’s not […]

As a longtime fan of claymation filmmaker Lee Hardcastle, I was pumped to hear that he was working on a new short (GHOST BURGER) just in time for Halloween. I was even more anxious once I learned this short would be close to 30 minutes – his longest work to date! – but it wasn’t […]
