CONSUMING SPIRITS (trailer) by Chris Sullivan
Coming to: Fantoche, Animaitou, Animator, Animifest, Annecy, Zagreb, Charels , Sicaff, Theater Balrimore, Cinefamily
Conell Cinema Ithaca New York
"Critic's Pick. Entirely original. . .an inquiry into the darkest zones of the human heart. . .Weaves a complicated, intoxicating spell…a wonder." - A.O. Scott, New York Times
"****[Four Stars!] A monstrous visual achievement… one of the most uniquely humanistic animated features of all time." -Joseph Jon Lanthier, Slant
"Recommended! An emotionally raw, thoroughly original film, a labor of painstaking love 15 years in the making….a haunted reverie…constructed of ugliness shot through with moments of unexpected beauty" -- Ian Buckwalter, NPR
. It took Sullivan more than a decade to make (stop motion and cutouts take time), so let it all go down like an 18-year Macallan. It’s like: Todd Solonz went to town with scissors!

DESCRIPTION:
Consuming Spirits is a hand-made independent feature animation shot frame-by-frame on 16mm using paper cut outs, models, and tracing paper cell animation.
It chronicles the lives of three characters who live in a rust belt town called Magguson, and work at its local newspaper The Daily Suggester. They are: Gentian Violet 42: Victor Blue 38: and Earl gray 64, who first appear to be acquaintances. But as the film unfolds, we find they have a long diabolical history, revolving around social service intervention, foster care, romance and hatred. Each character has family secrets to hide, and family secrets to discover. An auto accident one dark and inebriated night causes a crack in the memory vault of these intimate strangers. By films end all parties walk from the woods, both healed and wounded.
Written/Directed/Edited by Chris Sullivan, 16mm to HD, 131 minutes.
