WE ARE THE..., STRANGE MEDIA FOR STRANGE PEOPLE Txt: Monica Ponzini Stop motion, 3D, videogames, animes, 8-bit culture. With the Internet as distribution platform. The final product is We Are The Strange , an elusive and indefinite 90 minute film, where the author, M dot Strange , gathered everything that appeals to him visually, all his universe of images and styles.
What characterizes this new way of narrating through images – that the author himself called “ Str8nime ”, are the characters created with different media, short dialogues and a plot that can be hardly recounted. Shot with a very low budget and a basic equipment, M dot Strange's film was presented at Sundance Festival , where “classic” filmmakers did not show particular enthusiasm. It was obviously on the Internet that, on the contrary, the extremely original work became widely known, thanks to the word passed by all the “strange people” who admired its completely different visual approach.
