“The Pub” – An Animated Short Worth Your While
The Pub from Joseph Pierce on Vimeo.
Part Bill Plympton, part Ken Loach, part A-Ha video, part Bakshi, this short starts with rotoscoped footage of an English pub, then gets distorted as the bartender’s subjective vision reveals the customers for what they really are.
Director Joseph Pierce strikes me as someone to watch.

As editor of The Robot's Voice since 2012, he can take the blame for the majority of the site's content, all of which he creates because he loves you very, very much. (Although he loves nachos more. Sorry.) Prior to TRV, Luke wrote for publications that include the New Times LA, Los Angeles CityBeat, E! Online, OC Weekly, Geekweek, GeekChicDaily, The L.A.
