BONITA & THE BANDIT | A Short Film by Righteous Robot Righteous Robot 2024-03-31 | "Bonita & the Bandit" is the full, color-version, of the mini-Episode that plays throughout the Short Film "GRUFF" (available here: https://rb.gy/fm2zk6) After the extensive visual effects work in the Short Film "GRUFF", it was such a relief to experiment with a more simplified approach to animated movement with "Bonita". This Stop-Motion/Puppetry hybrid is a style I can certainly see myself returning to for simpler stories. What do you think?With the release of this color-cut, I wanted to not only showcase the bright visuals I so enjoyed putting into this little Western world, but also to highlight the amazing voice talent within the Episode in full definition.So I hope you enjoy "Bonita & the Bandit" - A Gruff StoryWritten, Directed, & Animated byJULIAN CURIWith BRADFORD LOOMIS as the Narrator VINCE MELAMED as El Mayor/El Pistolero KRISTIN CURI as Bonita/Bonita's MomJULIAN CURI as Bonita's DadKAISER JOHNSON as Farmer JimKEELEY JOHNSON as Farmer JaneSIGHT OF WONDERS “Boots of Glory”Courtesy of epidemicsound.comROY EDWIN WILLIAMS “Oscar the Outlaw”Courtesy of epidemicsound.com

GRUFF | A Short Film by Righteous Robot Righteous Robot 2024-03-02 | GRUFF is a handmade, paper short film I've been designing, building, puppeteering, and editing across almost three years. It's a story about the people you know love you, but aren’t exactly verbal about it. It’s how I've processed my dad’s passing, and learned how to love people who don't love exactly like me.I believe we all have individuals in our lives, related or not, that pride themselves as the "strong silent types". Through this short film, I hope all of us can learn to empathize, connect, and more deeply love the those who have so much more to say than we think, and just need us to listen.I hope you enjoy "GRUFF".Written, Directed, & Animated byJULIAN CURIStarringJOEY MARIE URBINA as Hazel AVILA KAST as BoCHARLES CARPENTER as AbueloWithBRADFORD LOOMIS as the Narrator VINCE MELAMED as El Mayor/El Pistolero KRISTIN CURI as Bonita KAISER JOHNSON as Farmer JimKEELEY JOHNSON as Farmer JaneProduced byJULIAN CURI, KEELEY BRIGHT, KAISER JOHNSON, & IVY ISENBERGDirector of Photography, Editor, Production Design, Visual Effects & PuppeteeringJULIAN CURIOriginal Score ROLAND BINGAMANCasting DirectorIVY ISENBERGProduction Assistant, 1st Assistant Camera KRISTIN CURI

PAPER CUTS Reel - by Righteous Robot Righteous Robot 2023-02-02 | For the last couple years, I’ve been telling stories using paper. What started as a desire for more practical approach to animation has just ballooned into a full blown obsession with bringing paper to life in a way I don’t see attempted very often. Most of these projects are still in development, or have yet to be released. But in the meantime, I wanted to share a glimpse into the process and potential of what I've been calling "Paper Cuts". See you in the next one!Julian Curi, aka Righteous Robot
Help Support GRUFF - a Paper Short Film! Righteous Robot 2022-12-17 | Support today at gofund.me/044fec26I'm Julian Curi, aka Righteous Robot, and I need your help with my paper-made Short Film.Two years ago, I set out to tell a story about my relationship with my late dad. Life happened, and "GRUFF" was put on hold. This is a Short Film that I hope can resonate with people of all ages and backgrounds, and give them the kind of story I wish I had when I lost my dad.With so many urging me to finish this film, I've come here to ask for your support! This style of animation is time-consuming and deserves several months of dedicated focus. But I'm committed to bringing you this heartfelt story in a fresh style that any lover of practical filmmaking will be sure to fall in love with.Unless donating anonymously, I'll be proud to include all supporters in the credits of the film, which will hopefully play worldwide at film festivals! And with enough support, we may be able to get some recognizable voices to lend their talents to the film.Thank you for believing in Gruff, and in me. See you on the red carpet!Julian
