"For me, this short was like watching a story about life and death and everything in-between. It speaks volumes to being yourself and not giving a fuck about what anyone thinks. Because if you’re not being yourself are you even really living? 'Don’t be dead. The dead are dumb. Be weird.'
The art, imagery, and music all blend together beautifully creating something magical and unique. It reminds me of a dream, a drug-fueled dream with bright colors, catchy music, and imagery of all kinds. Everything is a bit all over the place, but in the end, it all connects and has meaning and purpose.
I found DISCO GRAVEYARD to be refreshing and something that I didn’t know I needed. The world is shit right now but this is a nice reminder that we should always be our truest selves."
