"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."
— Tori Danielle, Nightmarish Conjurings
