DORK, directed by Ryan Castrillo, is a psychedelic mixed-media animated short about two strangers passing each other in New York, and the explosion of color, sound, memory, and emotion that follows.

Blending hand-drawn 2D animation, rotoscoping, live-action footage, and compositing, DORK turns a fleeting encounter into something much bigger, stranger, and harder to explain.

No AI. Just raw mixed-media animation, frame by frame.

DORK premieres today, September 1, on the Scrimshaw Animation YouTube channel.
