Cody's Positive Affirmations

About This Movie

So, 'Cody's Positive Affirmations' is pretty intriguing in its approach. It mixes digital and 35mm film animation, giving it this unique visual texture that feels both modern and retro. Caitlin Díaz’s work on the animations is really something—there's an abstract quality that draws you in. The character designs by Terrence White have a whimsical flair, making them memorable yet kind of elusive. And the sound design by Mike Jansson? It really complements the visuals, enhancing the whole atmosphere. The voiceovers by Cory and Brandon Blische add a personal touch, kind of grounding the ethereal vibe of the film. It's not what you'd expect and that’s what makes it distinctive; it straddles the line between playful and thought-provoking without being preachy.

This film is pretty scarce, with limited releases that make it a bit of a hidden gem among collectors. The combination of digital and 35mm techniques is rare, so it stands out in animation collections. Some might find the lack of a known director intriguing, as it invites a discussion about the nature of authorship in art. It's definitely a conversation starter in any film library.
