 RIVER DON’T CARE


 

Directed and Animated by: Alex McLeod
Year: 2020


Nature’s power comes from its unprejudiced, unbiased character. There is a stillness to this quality; unmoving yet always in motion.

 

Everything grows, exists, and fades. From this universal cycle, Nature evokes both humility and frustration. A motel room can be an allegory for our time here; it’s temporary. This will serve us until our journey continues. For a moment, I wanted the humbling reality of existence and the unstoppable forces of Nature to exist in one place. The result is an otherworldly environment; the two subjects intertwining before sharply and abruptly ending, much like the nature of Nature.
