Off the beaten track trailer of the day - "Consuming Spirits"

Watching this trailer from Chris Sullivan's animated film I was reminded of the work of Joseph Cornell. Different medium sure but lots of similarities: from it's hodge-podge pieced-together-from-whatever-is-available feel to the American Gothic-style nature of the narrative to the obsessive dedication it must have taken to put it together . Here's part of the promotional blurb...

Nearly 15 years in the making, Chris Sullivan's Consuming Spirits is a meticulously constructed tour de force of experimental animation... that tracks the intertwined lives of three kindred spirits working at a local newspaper in a Midwestern rust belt town.
