PSYCH!
April 9th, 2015 by Tristian
When youve had a long hard day facing the ugly truth, it helps to have a beer hall to turn to.
After I escaped the dangers of corporate pranks and the hipster illusions of April Fools Day,
my friend deposited me at the Brooklyn Brewery on N12th St in Williamsburg around 8
oclock. With an unnecessary QR code in hand, I picked up my ticket and a free beer token,
from an online transaction that cost $5 with NO FEES! It was time for Animation Block Party
with the Brooklyn Brewery Mash, a festival of dinner parties, comedy, screenings, debates,
art and beer, that will spread to New Orleans, Austin, Stockholm, and more. An excellent
stop-motion trailer for the BBMash was made by David Sherwin, illustrating the truck
shipments of mash to the brewery. There was a nice zinger when the truck passes in front of
an abandoned lot on Bedford Ave and reveals a new condo in its place.

waking up the wife when he gets home. And not-choking the chicken! Trouble (Van Bueren
Productions, 1931) deals with two oafs literally chasing ambulances to practice as accident
lawyers, and ends in a very satisfying gag payoff. And finally, Skinny & Husky shows us the
magic of children visiting Coney Island in what is essentially a message from the Board of
Milk People, as evidenced by a few frames of their placard thoughtfully left in the reel.

ABP founder Casey Safron was there to introduce Tom and a round of modern animated
films from Family Camp, Anchovy Warhol, Leah Shore, Sean Buckelew, Sarah Miskoff, Mike
Hollingsworth, Exit 73 Studios, and more. Leah Shore was in attendance, and so were some
people from Titmouse NYC. AND some friendly faces from our recent jury screenings!
Buckelews film was a B&W brushstroke inked on paper, of two people playing badminton
with a computer generated V.O. that ended up being completely compelling. I finally got to
see Shores I Love You So Much, about her and a cutie ensconced in a womb-like tent,
declaring their love for each other to ridiculous lengths, with shaky excited animation
springing off their live action bodies as they talk. I have waterworld style written down
Im gonna guess she said: I love you so much I want to drink you like no that doesnt
work. Guess youll just have to wait and see for yourself!
