TODAY’S SHORT: “My Daily Routine” (David Lowery) 2011
RUNNING TIME: 2:39
WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH IT: David Lowery’s daily routine is probably going to be changing in the near future now that his “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints” was the talk of Sundance and has been selected to play at Cannes (also, dude has since been selected to write “Pete’s Dragon”), but this oddly calming animated short about the rhythm and flow of his day-to-day life is as charming as it is outdated. Mileage may vary, but I find something rather serene and aspirational in this portrait of an artist who has managed to sustain a life of his own design, one that works for him as much as he works for it.
Oh, and this “editor by trade” recently cut Shane Carruth’s “Upstream Color.” Some folks self-motivate so well it’s disgusting.
Finally, a quick tip o’ the hat to Film School Rejects, who featured this short back in January. I try not to be lazy and just jack their picks, but I could only ignore this one for so long.
