Pick: National Anthem

One-hit-wonder Clint has fallen on hard times in National Anthem, a new full-length experimental feature from local filmmaker Will Goss. Through a blend of animation and live action, the movie follows Clint as he receives an email from another planet, Rena Lara, that asks him to come visit and write its national anthem. Goss, who wrote, acted, directed, edited, and soundtracked the film, created each scene using various artistic mediums, including watercolor, cut-outs, sewing, vintage computer paint programs, glitter paper, and more. The result is a delightful and colorful “odyssey of the imagination” through a bizarre new world.
