Humans Being

About This Movie

So, 'Humans Being' is this quirky little gem from 2004 that really captures that transitional period of the early internet. It’s animated in a way that feels almost naive, which is fitting given its themes of love, hate, and growing up. The pacing is a bit unconventional, sometimes feels disjointed, but it adds to that experimental vibe. Ken Shelf, who I believe wore multiple hats on this project, creates a fascinating atmosphere filled with local San Francisco scenes—there’s an undeniable charm to the visuals. The soundtrack features some great tunes that really enhance the emotional beats, making it more than just a simple narrative. If you’re into films that dive into the complexities of change and human connection, it's definitely something to explore.
