About This Movie

Crossroad is a fascinating piece from 2005, created by Phil Solomon alongside Mark LaPore. This short digital video resonates with a deeply personal touch, crafted as a heartfelt offering for their friend David Gatten. The animation here feels both intimate and experimental, blending a kind of ethereal quality with an underlying seriousness. What stands out is the pacing; it’s reflective and almost meditative, which complements the themes of friendship and recovery. You'll notice a distinct use of practical effects that adds a unique texture to the visual experience. It’s not just another animated short; it’s a thoughtful exploration of connections during tough times, making it quite special in its own right.
