Drop City

About This Movie

Drop City is an intriguing dive into the virtual realms of community. It’s a blend of animation that feels both organic and digital, capturing the essence of a shared space—a desktop community, if you will. The film’s namesake draws from a real-life hippy commune, which adds an interesting layer, reflecting on how communities are formed, both in the physical and digital worlds. The pacing can feel languid at times, reminiscent of a lazy afternoon spent in a sunny commune. The practical effects used here—though animated—give it a raw edge that’s quite distinctive. There’s this atmosphere of nostalgia and exploration, as well as a certain whimsy that pervades the scenes. It’s not just about visuals; it’s about the connections we forge, whether through pixels or patchouli.
