NEWS: ANIMATED MUSICAL FILM SHORT "FOLLOW ME, LIKE ME" TAKES ON THE EMPTINESS

September 04, 2014  •  Leave a Comment
 
NEW YORK - Transfixed by an app that opens them up to "friends" around the globe, an entire generation slowly becomes empty shells symbolized by emoticons and status updates related to virtual strangers.
 
"Programmed slang and gestures betray deeper frustrations..."
 
 
Follow Me, Like Me_ A My Son The Bum film

Enveloped in a quest to gather the largest social circle, the shells are greeted by the same request from "friends."  Follow me!  Like me!

 

In "Follow Me, Like," a new film short from musical artist  Brian Kroll's My Son the Bum, animated characters are used to convey a simple-yet-deep commentary on a state of emotional being that justifies one's existence by gaining followers and greets others with a barrage of requests to become one of their minions.

 

"I walked the silent streets at night to the sounds of microcosms melting...Silent cries for help, being dispersed by the wind...In the breeze of time where destiny's not grinned..."
