And So I Begin

About This Movie

And So I Begin is this intriguing semi-animated short that weaves together the lives of three artists from different eras. The painter from the early 1900s, the writer in the 1940s, and the modern ballerina each have their distinct styles, and the way they interact, despite being separated by both walls and time, is quite fascinating. The visuals have this unique blend of practical animation and expressive storytelling that really pulls you in. The pacing feels intentional, allowing each character’s story to breathe and connect. It’s not flashy, but there’s a depth to the atmosphere that resonates, making you think about creativity and connection across generations.

And So I Begin has a modest release, primarily circulating among indie film enthusiasts. Its limited distribution means finding copies, particularly in physical formats, can be a bit of a challenge for collectors. That said, the unique blend of animation and narrative depth has sparked interest, leading to some discussions in collector circles about potential future re-releases or special editions. Keeping an eye out for any festival screenings or online showcases could be worthwhile for those looking to delve into this distinctive piece.
