Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jodie Mack is a leading figure in 'materialist animation,' treating everyday objects as stars. This film screens in both avant-garde festivals and geology departments.
The 'generously-curated' description is pure Mack—she treats hoarding as rigorous practice, not pathology. Mary Johnson's collection is real; the film's humor comes from never winking at the audience.
