Asphalt Watches

About This Movie

Asphalt Watches is this bizarre and wild ride through Canada, mixing animation and comedy in a way that just feels raw and unfiltered. The creators, Seth Scriver and Shayne Ehman, really nail that offbeat vibe as they traverse small towns, exposing the strange underbelly of what it means to be Canadian. The pacing can be a little erratic, but it fits the overall tone of absurdity and dark humor. You’ve got these hand-drawn visuals that carry a sort of gritty charm, almost like you’re peeking into a sketchbook come to life. Themes of consumerism and the peculiarities of rural life are woven in—not always subtle, but definitely memorable. It’s a unique piece of art that stands out in the animation scene for its oddity and depth.
